Blue grass is simply Irish/Scottish music gone "Deliverance" (the Appalachians are where the poor Scotch-Irish immigrants settled in the 1700's, and lo and behold they brought their fiddles with them). It's really pretty good stuff, musically-speaking. And it's lively enough to keep you awake behind the steering wheel :-).

Have you ever heard the Irish Chieftain's country music CD, with Ricky Skaggs??? Darn good and you can hear the fit between old and new.

I'm a fan of 'Newgrass' as performed by Alison Kraus and Union Station, and Tony Trishka and Skyline!
