Born at a crossroads along the Big Sandy River—a child of the Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio border lines—Ramey made a name for himself in Nashville, Tennessee as a songwriter, penning tunes for George Strait ( Hot Grease And Zydeco ), Trisha Yearwood (“Second Chance”), John Michael Montgomery ( I Don't Want This Song to End ), Alabama ( That's How I Was Raised ), Ray Price ( on his Beauty Is...The Final Sessions ) Mark Chesnutt ( Oughta Miss Me by Now ), Doug Stone ( Make up in Love ), Craig Morgan ( Something to Write Home About ), Moe Bandy, Jon Wolfe (Dos Corazones), Aaron Watson (Summertime Girl), and Willie Nelson among others, while producing 14 independent projects of his own along the way. His life work is the craft and contribution of a troubadour. His story resonates in songs like The Spirit of Hank and the Heart of James Dean from his Spirit of Hank EP, and Pocatalico. His collection showcases his Country Music roots, while dropping hints of Rock, R&B, and folk. Critics have quipped that there is wood and gravel in his voice and iron in his lyrics. His catalog of hits and underground gems like West Texas Lonely, Just Ain't Trying, and Dreamin' Enough to Get Me By have found fans from all musical genres. Currently, his memoir _Honky Tonk Highway: A Life of Rhyme and the Long Road Through Nashville_ traces his music journey from Music Row in Nashville to the wide open spaces of Texas where he's still building on his legacy.
