All That Moody is an album by British musician Davey Graham, released in 1976. It was his first album in six years after the release of Godington Boundary and is the first with his name spelled Davey instead of Davy. It was released on an imprint called Eron Enterprises, a small label based in Deal, Kent, set up 4 years previously to demonstrate how good South East England's folk music scene was. Graham had known Ron Milner, the label's boss, since Holly Gwinn-Graham had been on the label's first release, Folk In Sandwich (ERON 001).

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Brian Downing wrote of the album "Graham effectively and impressively showed why he not only is considered the father of the modern British folk movement, but also a real innovator in bringing world music to a traditionally Western form. And while the remakes don't completely render the originals obsolete, they do give listeners some nice alternative versions. The instrumentals, as usual, work best, as Graham's vocals are not his strongest point. Likewise, the numbers that dabble in blues, jazz, or ragtime, while adding a touch of variety, really don't impress as much as the genre-fusing ones"[1]
