Andy Statman

I would also recommend Andy Statman. He is a world class mandolin and clarinet player. Because of his mandolin playing he is a much-sought-after session musician for bluegrass, but he is also a Chabad hasid and has put out a few albums of traditional Jewish music. His album "Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge" has a number of niggunim in a similar style to this.

The true purpose of this Niggun

This niggun is most beautifully enjoyed and uplifting when sung by Chassids during the auspicious occasion when a chattan and Kallah (bride and groom), are standing under the presence of the Holly Shechinah under the Hoopah.

Wow! I was really moved by this melody, and just in time for Shabbat. We just went through Hurricane Ike, thank G-d we're OK. I needed some lifting today.
