Reminds me a lot of a young Joan Baez - poignant!

Usually singers with conservatory training sound weird when they do folk music because they apply too much vibrato, or very formal diction, or other stylistic tics of opera singing. She somehow manages to combine the power and control of her classical training with a very pure tone. Also a great banjo player and fiddler.
I never get tired of this one where she's singing in Gaelic:

I first heard her on "Julie" and I chased her around the intertubes for a bit - But I never heard this song -Thanx for the link.
