Rising for the Moon is the tenth studio album by the British folk rock band Fairport Convention, released in 1975.

Lucas, an Australian, and Donahue, an American, joined Pegg, Swarbrick, and drummer Mattacks in 1973 for the recording of the album Rosie.

[4] This was the first Fairport Convention album not to involve John Wood in the production,[5] and the only one not to feature any traditional material.

Although still firmly rooted in the folk-rock vein, producer Glyn Johns brought a more polished and pop-influenced sound to the recording.

[6][8] Carrying on as Fairport Convention, Pegg, Swarbrick and Rowland recruited several short-term replacements before persuading founder member Simon Nicol to return.
