Danny Boy - Recommendations

I have several versions of Danny Boy, but am looking for some really inspirational versions. My current favorite version is from Jhenna Lodwich on her All My Loving CD. If you do not know her, I would recommend you give her a try.

Any recommendations of your favorite versions would be appreciated. Please provide artist and album, if possible.

Thanks

John McCormack, the great Irish tenor ...

I'm not sure if he ever recorded the actual "Danny Boy", but - if you like those sad Irish ballads, I'd check him out, anyway.
Marty,

I mentioned John McCormack in a post just above yours! He has done "Danny Boy" and glorious it is. I wrote:


There is a fabulous version of "Danny Boy" on a Telarc SACD called "A Celtic Spectacular" with Erich Kunzel - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Just beautiful singing by the tenor John McDermott. Track 15. Excellent sonics, as would be expected from Michael Bishop.

Metralla,

John McDermott is a (wonderful) Scottish tenor who I'm guessing is +/- my contemporary (53 yrs old). John McCormack is an Irish tenor who died before I was born.
That said, McDermott is a wonderful singer and I'm sure that your recommendation is a good one.
