Most people know Ronny Cox's acting career. From his first big break in the classic film Deliverance, to blockbuster commercial successes such as Beverly Hills Cop, RoboCop and Total Recall, to countless TV movies, Mini-series and TV series, Cox has seemingly done it all.
But not so many know of his life-long love and dedication to music. These days, he spends about half of his time acting and the other half as a singer/songwriter performing at folk festivals, concert venues and small intimate theatres, such as the historic Thrasher Opera House.
"My new CD… 'Ronny Cox - Songs…. With Repercussions' is, more than anything else, about the absence of (wife) Mary. It is also a “studio” album, with tight and precise arrangements and vocal harmonies. I found a wonderful group of players in South Carolina: Danny Harlow, Susan Taylor and Cary Taylor, and have allowed them great latitude and encouragement in our approach to the tunes. My “Southwestern” sensibilities are always present, but there is also a distinct “Southern” feel to many of the tunes and that comes directly from them. I am extremely proud of this album."
He has appeared as a singer-songwriter on:
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
The Bottom Line in New York with Leon Redbone
National Public Radio, Mountain Stage, with Guy Clark
National Public Radio E-town with the Roches
