Ronnie McDowell has lived one of the most fascinating careers in
country music history—and in this episode of Drifting
Cowboy, he tells it like only he can.
From the moment he released “The King Is Gone” as a tribute
to Elvis Presley, Ronnie’s life changed forever. That song
launched a career that would go on to include massive hits like
“Older Women” and “Wondering Eyes,” along with decades of stories
from inside the heart of country music.
In this conversation, Ronnie opens up about his friendships and
experiences with legends like Conway
Twitty and George Jones—sharing stories you won’t hear
anywhere else. He talks about the reality of fame, the highs and
lows of the music business, and what it was really like being
around some of the greatest artists of all time.
But Ronnie’s story doesn’t stop with music. He’s also built an
incredible second career as a painter, creating detailed
portraits of icons like Elvis and other country legends. We dive
into how that passion started, how serious he is about it, and
why it means so much to him.
This is one of those episodes that blends nostalgia, history, and
raw storytelling—exactly what country music fans crave.
If you love real stories about real country music, this one’s for
you.
