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

I haven't seen any music by Dennis Day for a long while but will always remember his singing.

Great violin version of Danny Boy.. Also a moving version of Scarborough Fair.

Cheers

Has anyone mentioned Joan Baez? It's coupled with "I Dream of Jeannie" and I believe it's on the "Diamonds and Rust" LP.

For a sweet melancoly Irish rendition of this song I agree with Marty, the Great Irish Tenor John McCormack is a good one. I am not sure if he ever recorded "Danny Boy" but I have a later recording of "Oh Mary Dear"/Londonderry Air recorded in 1936. His voice is worth checking out to those unfamiliar with this contemporary of Enrico Caruso.
