My favorite version of "By the Hush" was recorded by Paul Brady on a compilation album called "The Gathering". He slowed the tempo down from the Canadian version, and threw the tune into a more minor/modal setting, making the song much more haunting than the rather up-tempo Canadian versions. I think De Dannaan covered Brady's version. Ian Robb and Margaret Christl recorded the Ottawa Valley version on a Folk-Legacy album, too.
