As a purveyor of this sub genre in my daily programming, I would offer my advice for you to check out Chris Stapleton. He pulls from his early influences of the greats and has been able to avoid the pitfalls of Nashville and the "Bro" country sound. His remake and intrepretation of "Tennessee Whiskey" is all you need to hear to become an instant fan.

Townes Van Zandt?

Eastern european folk + Bach's "toccata and fugue in D minor" + throat-singing in russian + some beatbox = fun

Oh, yes. And can someone explain to me the difference between regular country and bluegrass, please?

A Blue Grass band more or less will be set up like Bill Monroe and Blue Grass Boys with these five instruments:
  1. Acoustic guitar
  2. Banjo
  3. Fiddle
  4. Mandolin
  5. Stand up bass
