hmm, given as I live in Denmark I doubt it'll be easy to find in english. On the other hand my friend has a few selected songs on a mix tape somwhere that are really well done, including "The Road Goes Ever On and On." It seems to me that a lot of what Tolkien writes is good for the "poet and a one man band" singer-songwriter type of person, especially his songs on travelling and living life.
Going back to an earlier point about specific Celtic tunes. I haven't found any in my collection that remind me of certain instances in LOTR, but I do find some that put me in the mood. Acoustic string music is pretty much the best background music for reading the books, if you like music while you're reading.
