I have been listening to Chanticleer for many years and love them. I ushered at one of their concerts and was able to meet most of them. My brothers and sister had the opportunity to sing with them, and Joseph Jennings himself regularly comes and works with a choir I was a member of for 2 years, so I met him, too. SO you can imagine that I love Chanticleer. And yet, although I love their version of Shenandoah, I am partial to this one (not the choir, the arrangement).

This choir is awesome and I don't mind the mispronunciations at all. The only one that is mildy distracting is when the men pronounce "valley" like "vallay," but it doesn't bother me. I actually think it is charming when foreign choirs sing English songs and mispronounce a little bit.

In reply to this comment by Wynder:
This arrangement was adapted by Chanticleer -- a mens choral ensemble. This is a great version, although some of the mispronunciations make some parts disconcerting.
