Eva Cassidy's version of "Dark Eyed Molly". God that girl could sing!

Wowee, that version of "Black-leg miner" from bassic's link is incredible, IMO. Wish I could have that very version. The other stuff is very nice, too, but that one jumped out at me.

No One has mentioned Counting Crows 'Big yellow Taxi' but it might be best left unmentioned, although it is my son's favourite from 2003.
Joan Baez turned Dire Straits 'Brother's in Arms' into a folk-song and if you finger-pick her version it sounds even more folky.

On an old LP of sea shantys Harry H Corbett (young Steptoe) does a rousing version of "Blow the Man Down", not a great voice but sounds very authentic.
