Stan Rogers yay! I knew there were some people on my droll who listened to him but couldn't remember who, and everyone ought to listen to his music! (in case you don't know, Garnet Rogers (his brother) and Nathan Rogers (his son) also have albums out (Garnet Rogers' 'Night Drive' makes me cry...)
Celtic rock/tribal with bagpipe and didgeridoo, with folkish themes in their music (Rainmaker feels very thematically similar to Stan Rogers). I admit it was the instruments that initially caught my ear.
They have a pretty broad range of music. For the Celtic Rock side I'd rec 'as you were' as a starting album as it has a bit of everything (Rainmaker is the one I listened to over and over...). But if you want something atmospheric the album "One Day" is neat. They recorded it outside in the Australian bush, and it's more impressionistic reflections on a day from dawn to nightfall (and A Thousand Ways would be a good song to start with).
