You should listen to his earlier stuff too. Magical.
(Copy you some of his out of circulation material if you wish)
I know what you mean about Carthy. Apart from his voice deteriorating of late his Guitar style is quite amazing, unique in its sparsity . He leaves a lot of spaces and uses silence and single notes while playing and singinging. Unlike Simpson who (over-) embellishes his playing making him sound too flash.
Nic Jones did something altogether fresher in the folk scene with laying down a drone beat and blending his voice in and out of that as you mentioned above Dooks. If he hadn't crashed who knows what heights he would have reached
