Ron Davies (songwriter)
Ron Davies (Ronny Wayne Davies, January 15, 1946 – October 30, 2003) was an American songwriter and musician. He was described by CMT News at the time of his death as "the family's artistic trailblazer" although "less celebrated… than his () sister, singer/songwriter and producer Gail Davies." 〔(Songwriter Ron Davies Dead at 57 ), CMT News, . Retrieved 03-07-2011.〕
The son of country singer Tex Dickerson, Ron took the name ''Davies'' after he was adopted by his stepfather, Darby Davies. Ron began his professional songwriting career at the age of 17, when he penned an entire album for the Tacoma, Washington-based Wailers. He released two albums of his own on A&M Records, ''Silent Song Through the Land'' and ''U. F. O,'' which he co-produced with Grammy Award winning engineer Tommy Vicari.〔
Davies's song "It Ain't Easy" was covered by Three Dog Night (title song on their 1970 album), Long John Baldry (as title song of his 1971 album), David Bowie (on his 1972 ''Ziggy Stardust'' album), Dave Edmunds, and Grammy Award winner Shelby Lynne, among others; his "Long, Hard Climb" by Helen Reddy and Maria Muldaur; "The Man I Used to Be" by Jerry Jeff Walker; and "Waitin' on a Dark-Eyed Girl" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.〔 Ron moved to Nashville, Tennessee; in 1985 where he wrote for Cedarwood Publishing and later for Warner/Chappell Music. Although not a professional actor, he played the lead role in the George Jones video ''Cold Hard Truth'' in 1999.
Davies died of a heart attack at his home in Nashville on October 30, 2003.〔 In 2013 an album of his songs entitled ''Unsung Hero: A Tribute To The Music Of Ron Davies'' was released, featuring 22 well-known artists including John Prine, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Delbert McClinton, Crystal Gayle and jazz legend Benny Golson.
