Mmmm, "Henry Lee." I also really love Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue's "Where the Wild Roses Grow" (http://www.sendspace.com/file/lofvt7) (his version of "The Willow Garden"). It is delightfully creepy and I love how he gives the murdered woman a voice (andilovekyliealotlalala).
Do you ever listen to BBC Radio? There's a lot of good trad. folk (old and new) over on Radio 2, especially on the Mike Harding show (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/harding/index.shtml). You can listen to each program for a week after it's been aired. Sometimes I get a little tired of all the focus on the Waterson/Carthy clan, Kate Rusby, Bellowhead, etc., but they are the ones dominating the Britfolk scene at the moment. And besides, they're all pretty awesome, so I shouldn't complain too much :) He's lead me to some good stuff that I otherwise wouldn't have heard about in the States.
This is all to say: I'm excited to see what your mixtape looks like :)
