Who Is Suzi Ragsdale

The daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame legend Ray Stevens, Suzi was in kindergarten when her voice was first featured on a No. 1 record, as part of the chorus on her dad’s inspirational Grammy-winning hit, “Everything Is Beautiful.” She began recording children’s albums for the classroom at age 10 and singing on demos for other writers when she was just 13. “Every chance I got, I was in the recording studio, sitting on the console, listening,” she recalls. “I was doing what was right for me at the time,” she says. “Now I know I was on the right path, however long and winding it may have seemed.”

Not resting on her musical talents she became a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer teaching group cardio and weight training classes at health clubs in Nashville and Memphis. All the while she was an itinerant backing vocalist, heard on more than 60 albums including artists like Loretta Lynn, Pam Tillis, Kathy Mattea, Suzy Bogguss, Ian Tyson, Tom Paxton, Watermelon Slim, Hank Williams, Jr., Jo-El Sonnier and many others. As a songwriter, artists including Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Jamey Johnson, Rodney Crowell, Hal Ketchum, Lari White, Darrell Scott, Anne Murray, Billy Dean, rock duo Nelson and more have used her material.

Suzi toured as a member of Guy Clark and Darrell Scott whom produced her solo debut album Future Past, she also recorded a pair of duet LPs with her ex-husband, Verlon Thompson, before releasing EPs, Best Regards and Less of the Same.
