Glad to hear you say that, Frank. And I was even gladder to read that Ralph Stanley doesn't think of himself as "Bluegrass."   Although Hazel and Ralph Stanley, among some others have been "stamped" with the Bluegrass label, I've always had problems with them being catagorized pretty exclusively as that.   

It is good to hear you mention Nimrod Workman. Not many seem to remember him. His daughter, Phyllis Boyens, has a fine voice too, but she tends to sound old-time country, or old-time tinged Bluegrass, more so than Appalachian mountain

Perhaps because I am Appalachian hillbilly myself, and grew up listening to my grandfather singing his a capella hymns in a fine mountain voice, there is no style of singing voice that moves me as much.
