If you don't want to get into the technicalities of databases - and for a job like that it probably isn't worth it - then your best bet might be something like LibreOffice which is rather like MS Office. Then spend a little time learning how to sort the various columns data columns into different orders. Yes, that is far less powerful than a 'proper' database but is probably sufficient.

Whether you use something like that, or a proper database, or a specialist application for music organisation, you will still have to take a disciplined approach to entering the data. Although I don't do much of this, I've still fallen foul of not defining a sensible and consistent naming scheme to cope with "The Watersons", "Waterson:Carthy", "Martin Carthy" and so on. Thinking about all of that sort of stuff up front repays the effort.
