Ronnie McDowell Appears On Tennessee Crossroads‏

In a recent episode of "Tennessee Crossroads," legendary country musician Ronnie McDowell explained the stories behind his prolific creative passions, and details a lesser known hobby that has people talking - painting.Click here to watch Ronnie's segment and learn how his artwork fits into the bigger picture.

McDowell, known best across the country for his hit tracks like "Older Women" and "It's Only Make Believe," is currently touring in support of his latest venture - his autobiography entitled "Bringing It To You Personally," which tells the incredible true stories of his career, including the life-changing moment he dazzled the world with his heartfelt and self-penned tribute song, "The King Is Gone," in honor of Elvis Presley's death. But when he's not performing for his legion of fans, he's busy creating works of art for them.

"The creative forces all intertwine - the songwriting, the art, the singing, the entertaining. To me, they all kind of just play together," McDowell said.

Since his early years, Ronnie has always had an affinity and talent for painting. Over the years, he has amassed a number of fans solely for his artistic sensibilities, and continues to split his time creating new works of art. In fact, his work has grown so popular that, in 2015, it attracted the attention of a particularly magical organization. Ronnie then signed a 5-year contract to create works of art for iconic Disney characters.
