I do need to check out Mostly Autumn.

Railroad Earth is sort of progressive bluegrass, or prog-grass, crossed with jamgrass. They do some serious exploration of places bluegrass has rarely gone.

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Blackmore’s Night, and find a lot of their stuff a bit twee. One poster on alt.music.deep-purple described their debut album as “a cheap pop album that has little or nothing to do with renaissance music”, which is harsh but fair.

I find their albums are about one third superb stuff, one third forgettable filler, and one third terribly cheesy.

Saying that, the first album is probably the best, although there are some good standout tracks on the second one.

I would definitely recommend you check out both Mostly Autumn and Karnataka!

There are several things on your list (hint: celtic-themed prog-rock) I may have to check out. Michael and I bought the first (?) Blackmore’s Night CD recently and have really been enjoying it.
