It's from this album that she mostly draws on her tour. But because it's Moody's first time in New Zealand, she says her Auckland show will "run the gamut".
"I have a really wonderful band and one of the really cool things about them is that they're all really versatile musicians, so it allows us to cover a lot of ground, musically and genre-wise. So, essentially, we play folk music, but we also play Celtic-inspired music, old-time bluegrass and gospel."
Moody will also test a couple of new songs, which she's miraculously found time to write between relentless tours for her solo albums and with The Wailin' Jennys.
"If you're going to do this seriously, there's a period where your energy is focused outward and you tour and you push the thing that you've made. And it's hard because you just don't get that time to write," she says.
"But you kind of trade it. Ten years ago, I used to write all the time, but I dreamed of being able to tour in this way. And so now I'm on the road all the time and it's really intense, but I'm really grateful for the opportunity.
"So I guess, what you have to do is plan for it and carve out time ... and find a place where you can reconnect with yourself."
"Plus, with touring there's always the inspiration you find in visiting new places."
Moody says if what her sister has told her about Auckland is true, she's sure to find it here - even if it's something as simple as swapping the flu-inducing Northern Hemisphere winter for the warm days of summer.
"We sure are happy to be coming. We're all dreaming of sun and swimming."
Ruth Moody will perform at the Tuning Fork, Vector Arena, in Auckland, on February 13.
