Happy New Year, everyone! We don’t have any country music birthdays on New Year’s Day, but we do have seven who are celebrating this first week of 2017. We have provided a link to the artist website, where you will probably be able to find a Facebook or Twitter link where you can wish each a Happy Birthday, when their special day rolls around. Whenever no website is available, we try to post a link where you can find more information about the artist.
This week, there are three artists who are no longer with us, but you know we always like to remember them on their special day.
Here are your country music birthdays for the week beginning Sunday, Jan. 1, 2017.

If you know of any country artists celebrating this week, that we may have missed, please send the information so we can get them on our list. Remember to visit their website to find out if they have a Facebook or Twitter page, so you can wish them a Happy Birthday there. If you aren’t already following Country’s Chatter on Twitter, we’d love to have you! You will find us @countryschatter.
