Happy birthday to the 14 people who bring country music to our world. We have posted a link to their official website (when one was available), and hopefully that will lead you to a Facebook page or Twitter where you can send a special birthday greeting of your own. If there was no website listed, we have sent you to a link where you could get a little information about the artist. Several of these artists are no longer with us, but as always, we wanted to remember them on their special day.
Here are your birthdays for the week beginning Sunday Aug. 7, 2016.
