Yes.
Sorry but I couldn't resist. On this one Wikipedia probably does as good a job as anyone could in explaining the difference.

Meade Skelton's new song "Hot Baloney, Eggs, and Gravy" is a country ditty heavily influenced by bluegrass.

Yeah. Bluegrass uses more acoustic instruments in general. Has a different sound, with mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and strings. Country is a lot mroe commerical and has more elements of Pop music, but has been that way for quite some time. Country music is more geared toward Popular songwriting, whereas bluegrass is pure mountain music w/harmonies, etc.

It's always bewildered me how some people can be so dumb when it
comes to defining Bluegrass. I once read a Washington Post article
that said it was an "offshoot" of Country. I guess the author was
too lazy to look up Bill Monroe on the web but for a writer with
an Ivy League degree I'd expect more. I wouldn't expect him to know
the difference between Bluegrass and Mountain Music either but I've
learned to ignore know-it-all Flatlanders anyway.

What exactly is an attack account? Can there be a defense account? What about an asymmetric warfare account? An insurgency account?
Anyway, I'm going to bed. When I get up, maybe the anon poster will have explained why a thread about country music and a benign screen name bother him/her so much.
