Chris LeDoux--A True Cowboy

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the ultimate Chris LeDoux collection of his later music, after he gained widespread fame by being mentioned as one of Garth Brooks' influences. If you like classic country music, without frills and too many "rock and roll" riffs, you'll love this collection. Of course, if you've ever seen Chris in concert, you know that he can rock with the best of them, however, he has always remained true to his Western roots. I've been seeing him in concert nearly every year since 1990, and he is a perennial favorite, especially here in my home state. Having also met him once, he's a true gentleman and an old-fashioned cowboy through and through. If you want a taste of his earlier work, I'd also recommend the "American Cowboy" boxed set, featuring music he performed in his earlier career and back when he was a rodeo champion. An honest, straightforward approach has worked for him all these years, and he's never changed that. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!"

Much Too Young To Leave Us.

"Chris,



Is is Truly one understimated artist. When I think of cowboys, I think of Mr. Ledoux.



I have his CD, greatest 20 hits. But, clearly that would not do justice to the man. buying this box set was a great way to give me a better understanding of his music. and what he means to Cowboys, Rodeo, country music, and his influence on artists like Garth Brooks.



We miss you Chris, and may you rest in peace sir.
