Some great choices listed - Leon Redbone and Kiri Te Kanawa... that's my kind of list!

I recently found an Australian group by getting their free sampler CD, "Cotter's Bequest". My son and I have listened to this over and over, and he learned "Cloghans" on the mandolin, which I have not tired of. As a new group I'm listening to, I can recommend them at: Gavin O'Loghlen & Cotters Bequest.
