There is plenty of current bluegrass music, but pure bluegrass is considered more "folk" or "Americana" music than "country".
One of my favorite CDs is "Flatt and Scruggs at Vanderbilt". It was recorded back in the 60's when Vanderbilt was trying very hard to separate itself from the "country" side of Nashville. So all the formal introduction is about Flatt and Scruggs "American Folk" music. I am sure the crowd was dressed much nicer than the usual crowd across town at the Rynman Auditorium, but they still cheered just as loud for the genius on stage. |

Check out some of the music released by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman in their "Old and in the Way" recordings.
Also "The Pizza Tapes" and "Grateful Dawg".

The Mavericks (founded in Miami, Florida, in 1989) may not be accepted by all as purveyors of "country" music, but check them out if you're unfamiliar with this group. Lead singer, Raul Malo (Cuban-American), has an absolutely golden voice. Here's one of their many hits with an old time country feel to it, complete with fiddle.

I tried... I got through 55 seconds... because I like Hispanic-influenced music... but I immediately had to go to this in order to calm myself down...
I can even do Charlie Daniels:
... and, not country, but if we're talking Cubans:
and this classic...

There is a lot of Mexican influence in American Country music. You just have to listen for it.
Marty Robbins was born and raised just a few miles from where I am sitting.
And one of my all time favorite songs about a girl from a small seaside town where I have spent way too much time over the years.
And you might know this guy who did a parody of that Hoyt Axton song:

You wouldn't even had made it to the first chorus. 
I like moldy-oldy familiar stuff as well... but I also enjoy seeing/hearing something new, something un-familiar. Sometimes it takes more than one listen, or maybe a different song by the same artist strikes a chord.

Here's some of that Mexican influence in one of Marty Robbin's biggest hits, tho it was actually written by a Russian born Jewish composer and an American born lyricist.....
