I'd say June Tabor is *the* interpreter of songs traditional and 
contemporary and a fabulous voice. We saw her live with Norma Waterson 
last year and she's frighteningly stunning. Try "Airs and Graces" or the 
more-recent "An Echo of Hooves".
All Norma Watersons albums are great but I like her best unaccompanied 
with The Watersons. Martin Carthy (who is, of course, biased) called her 
"the best singer in the world" and she's not of course but when you're 
listening to her you could believe it.

Davy Graham's "All That Moody" (1976) is a great collection.
