Since you list bluegrass as a genre that tends to be low on your list AND you want to expand your listening, I'm going to suggest bluegrass.
Before the "O Brother" soundtrack blew up and was being played everywhere, Allison Krauss made her own music with Union Station. My favorite CD of hers is "I've Got That Old Feeling" (1990). This is not your typical a pickin' and a grinnin' bluegrass. More like BLUESgrass.
Also, Rhonda Vincent and the Rage. She has a similar sound, but has a band that adds harmony. My favorite song of hers is, "I've Forgotten You". Again, bluegrass with an aura of blues. She has one CD that was produced from a concert. For a concert CD, the sound quality is amazing.
