It's a great irony that Chris LeDoux had a comeback after being "rediscovered" by Garth Brooks, since Chris was at least as much country and certainly more cowboy than Garth has ever been. And this great collection of songs proves it.
Chris LeDoux created a kind of country rock that was more Wyoming than California, and as a champion bronc rider in the 70s, he carved out a reputation with down-to-earth credentials more dust and sweat and grit than his contemporaries. The "greatest hits" that make up this CD are not chart toppers; many were not even released as singles. They're drawn from a career of 30+ albums, some written by himself, many by others. All with his indelible stamp as a cowboy rocker-troubadour.
There's plenty of high energy in all these songs, kicking off with the wonderful anthem "Life is a Highway." Following is a whole range of sentiments from the darkly angry and deep-hearted "This Cowboy's Hat" to the snoose-in-cheek "Copenhagen" to the unembarrassed love songs like "Look at You Girl" and "County Fair." Meanwhile, he heartily celebrates the wonders of sexual energy in "Gravitational Pull" and "For Your Love."
There's a great Springsteen song "Tougher Than the Rest" that he makes all cowboy, and flipping the coin on the wrangler and boots icon, he turns around and sings a larky "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy." For all the bar songs in country music, his "Five Dollar Fine (for Whining)" has got to be one of the best. There's a rodeo song, "Hooked on an 8 Second Ride," a tribute to rock and roll, "Even Cowboys Like a Little Rock and Roll," and a compelling story-song about cowboying on the open range, "Stampede." Finally he sings a declaration of independence from Nashville in "Western Skies." To double the fun, there are duets with Garth, Bon Jovi, Toby Keith, and Charlie Daniels.
You could pick another 20 songs to remember Chris LeDoux, but this collection will do just fine.
Free Music Review: Chris Ledoux Rocks!
Hit: 5 Stars
If I could only have one Chris Ledoux album, this would be the one I'd choose. This cowboy knows how to rock and roll, yet he can still sing western music with the best of them. I've had this CD in my player for 2 weeks and can't make myself take it out! This ain't your momma's country music, and if you think all country music sounds alike then you haven't heard Chris Ledoux. There are a few songs I wish were on this CD, such as "You Can't See Him From The Road", but there's not a bad song on it. This is truly great music from a real cowboy who's been there and done that, and has the belt buckles to prove it.Free Music Review: I love this man!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I have been a big fan of Chris Ledoux for years. I first heard him several years ago when I was about 13 years old, and I was hopelessly in love with Garth Brooks at the time. When he mentioned somebody named Chris Ledoux, I definatly wanted to check him out. I think he is an amazing person, and this album is great. It is missing several songs, but I certainly do not mind buying this cd and a different one with all the missing songs to complete the collection. I hope everybody enjoys this cd as much as I did!Free Music Review: Should be in every cowboy's truck!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the definitive Chris LeDoux collection that should be in every cowboy's truck! What can you say about getting all of these on the same CD: Cadillac Cowboy, Hooked On An 8 Second Ride, Copenhagen, This Cowboy's Hat, Look At You Girl, Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy and 14 other cowboy standards.
