Known for his standard of excellence in the studio as well as for his remarkable ability to pick a hit song, Ronnie explains how he chooses a song to record: “First of all, you’ve got to have a song that you just fall in love with.

We are patient with that, and we can make it happen.' To try to get these folks to come into the studio, you've got to find a break in their schedule when they can do it.

We should be running with a lot of steam, and we are. The tough thing is coordinating with their schedules. We were talking with Little Big Town this week, and we’ve invited them to come in and sing on the record. I’ve got a song with Leon Russell on there, and one with Jason Aldean. “There’s a great new song by Mike Reid, and I sang that song with Willie Nelson. “Right now I’m doing an album that’s got quite a few duets on it, Ronnie offers. Ronnie even has a new album in the works. So, having a chance to put those songs on a record was really exceptional.' While growing up, I was singing in church. Certainly, gospel music had a big effect on me. I came from the Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, so there’s a lot of gospel and a lot of hillbilly music in my background that most folks probably just don’t know. As Ronnie tells, “I loved that! That was great to get to record a lot of those songs I’ve been singing since I was a child in church. That covers about 20 years of our catalog.” Ronnie has also recently released Gospel Greats, which is a new compilation of songs that he originally recorded back in '09 for his two-CD gospel collection Then Sings My Soul. “Everything I ever recorded for RCA is on that 21 CD set. “That was a great thing that Sony did,” Ronnie observes.

In a music career spanning six decades, Ronnie shows no signs of slowing down. “I look forward to bringing my band and the folks that I love to play shows with to Texas, and it will be a great show,” Ronnie promises.
