Some of these might be more on the borders of folk music...
Angus & Julia Stone - "Paper Aeroplane", "Little Bird", "Babylon".
The Civil Wars - "Poison and Wine", "20 Years", "My Father's Father".
Nick Drake - "Northern Sky", "River Man", "Saturday Sun".
Nickel Creek - "Out of the Woods", "When You Come Back Down", "Jealous of the Moon".
Vienna Teng - everything! Especially "Antebellum", "Recessional", "Blue Caravan".
The Weepies - also everything, but particularly "World Spins Madly On", "Riga Girls", "Keep It There".
"Spanish Lady" by Maighread & Triona Ni Dhomhnaill, or Paddy Reilly.
I've just realised that doesn't really include any Celtic music, which could be classified as folk, but you asked for a couple of favourites and I've given you a list! Anyway, let me know if you want more Celtic-folk.
Or older folk music - my current favourites are more recent stuff, so I haven't mentioned Simon & Garfunkel, Don McLean, and so on...
