So many singers, unknown as well as famous, have unsuccessfully sang this Irish song. I admit this is a hard song to sing but to me, this version by Eva Cassidy is perfection if ever there is perfection. I don't believe anyone can sing this song as beautifully and with as much sincere emotion as Eva.
A note I wish to add on Nov1, 2007, for those who do not know, tomorrow Nov 2, 2007 is the 11th anniversary of Eva Cassidy's death 11 years ago.

Eva's death was a great loss to all music lovers,her haunting voice gets through to us all. Thanks to Terry Wogan for bringing her to our notice here in the U.K.
As an American of Irish decent, she made Ireland proud. I'm Irish, and this version is simply heart wrenching in its purity. I honestly don't know how it could possibly have been done better than this.
I especially love that she breaks a string (1.54) and doesn't miss a beat.

Angel of Mercy she was.
