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.

What a singer i love songbird and true colors too by her. Very beautiful version with the one of Elvis Presley.
-
Her singing is really quite extraordinary. Listen closely to her vibrato and the way she subtly changes pitches. Really, really good.
-
Best version ever!

Just back from USA-- need a wonderful lady to lull me to beet jet lag. Thank you Eva. We all miss you. xx

This was my mothers favourite song , It reminded her of my cousin who was killed by a train many many years ago, and i will say she would have loved this version.beautiful.

I lost my wife of 19 years recently. The way Eva so poignantly delivers this air is a
joy to my ears. Beautiful, and one of my late wife's favourite pieces of music.
