Male singer, violin music in the song

OK this is a long shot, but here goes....
I'm trying to remember a song I liked years ago, it was a male singer (maybe in the late 80's/early 90's). It was a song that played regularly on the radio and I know that there was some Irish violin music incorporated into the song. Any ideas? The singer was popular, think Bryan Adams-type (but I don't think he sang the song). Thanks!

Maybe this song:

"Paper In Fire" by John Mellencamp
