Actually, some of the most 'Tolkienesque' stuff out there are the Icelandic Sagas. In terms of style, mood, narrative drive & subject matter you could almost be reading the Sil. CoH for instance, is a Saga - it follows the same structural rules - starting with the hero's genealogy & ending with his death. Morwen is a classical Saga 'mother figure'.
Be warned though, the Sagas can be pretty strong meat - if you found CoH too dark & intense I'd stick to Pullman & his ilk.
