Only gonna bump this once
^ Even if you don't bump again, please do bookmark and keep an eye on this topic. I've been looking around for this version quite a bit since you posted (because I really want to hear it for myself—it seems right up my alley), and real life is going to put the search on hold for a couple of weeks now, but I do mean to come back to it.

Maybe Norwegian Band "Come Shine"?
If you google "The Man Comes Around cover" there is a site called Secondhand Songs that lists all the covers of the song. Come Shine is listed on there, but in case that's not it then you can look at the other listings anyway and find your one.
I've asked this a whole bunch of times by now, but I do wait a while before asking again so I feel like it isn't bad. Besides, I do really want to know. There's a song by Johnny Cash, When the man comes around, that is redone by a woman with a beautiful voice. I believe she was British, but. It's entirely possible that I'm wrong. My phone had a picture of her from the chin down on the (album cover?) t came up every time I opened the song anyway. T was the single greatest song I've ever heard.
