Country music has had its fair share of country music duos, from the 1970s to today's country music. To honor Dan Smyers' 35th birthday today (8/16), we look at ten of the most popular country duos in country music history.

We are not counting solo artists like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill or Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty, who teamed together for a series of duets, but true blue country duos.
