The Wexford Carols is a 2014 album of traditional Irish carols by Caitríona O'Leary featuring guest singers Tom Jones, Rosanne Cash and Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Rhiannon Giddens produced by Joe Henry. The carol texts are mainly taken from the Christian poetry composed during the three century long religious persecution of the Catholic Church in Ireland by Bishop Luke Wadding (1684), who was heavily under the influence of the Metaphysical poets, and Father William Devereux (1728). In the case of Fr. Devereux's carols, the tunes were not indicated, so O'Leary matched surviving folk tunes fitting the poems. The song "The Darkest Midnight" was learned from the 1982 album Darkest Midnight by singer Nóirín Ní Riain and the monks of Glenstal Abbey. The album went to No.1 on the Billboard World Albums Chart.
