One of the primary themes in bluegrass music, of course, is religion, and nearly all bluegrass performers include some gospel songs in their repertoire. These songs often feature complex four part harmonies, and are sometimes performed a cappela. For those of you for whom this is your main area of interest, I have included an index of just these songs.
