Country music is older. Bluegrass is heavily associated with Bill Monroe, who is often referred to as the 'founding father' of the genre. He didn't start performing till the mid 1940s. Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family are normally referred to as the founders of Country music, who were both found at a recording session in 1927 by Ralph Peer. The Grand Ole Opry, the country show, first came to air in 1925 as the WSM Barn Dance. Bluegrass basically began in the 1940's and has its roots in country music; both of which descends from music from Scotland, England, and Ireland. Country music which also has its roots from similar places including songs and melodies of the deep south from early African-Americans and other immigrants. This question is quite difficult to answer however, as genres such as Country and Bluegrass are quite ambigious.
