Here's a few of places to find some real traditional stuff. http://www.greenlinnet.com/ http://www.rounder.com/ http://www.fellside.com/ There were some more I was thinking of, but they seem to have gone under.
A Thistle and Shamrock is a good place to hear celtic type folk music. Another NPR show is The Folk Sampler, with more Appalachian type and other non-Celtic music. I have also heard Celtic Connections and Our Front Porch, which are available on some NPR stations. I know a lot of sites with lyrics, but not so many with recordings for sale. I usually look up individual artists and order from whatever they have available. Some of these people are pretty obscure and can't be found on most record sales inventory.
I sugest going to a few folk/bluegrass/celtic festivals and get an idea of what's happening in this type of music to get some ideas. Besides, the live acoustic jams are great! Dave

Lots.
The cool thing is to explore & discover talented new artists.
THe "sounds like" search function is great.
I just got an album by a dude called Jude (who sings in a high pitched voice, but good lyrics)
and another called dead lovers society by Lucien Desar, which is really good.
If you like Jazz, but can;t stand the syrupy voices of the current divas, try out lush life (the album) as well some lady (forget her name) and her YES MEn.
Also discoverd a lot of local talent on there.
ALl in all a great site, where the artist gets to keep the majority of the money (at least so far...i hope the owner does not get greedy).
