Uh huh! I'm a wannabe bluegrass musician, I think (well, I did once play in a small-time bluegrass band but that was before I took up the mandolin and got into English and Irish music).
On the whole, I prefer Old Timey to Bluegrass but there are some fantastic and inventive newer bands about who have taken Bluegrass out of its rather commercial rut towards the realms of jazz.

bluegrass music as far as the instrumentation itself is great. The instruments are traced back to early English/Irish music traditions
As far as those that sing bluegrass, I always thought of them as men who were blessed with wonderful tenor voices that don't quite know how to use them. Tenors are supposed to be rich sounding almost bell-like, not nasally as alot of bluegrass musicians are
