R.I.P. Chris LeDoux
One of my all-time favorite singers, Chris LeDoux, has passed away from liver cancer.
I realize most people have no idea who Chris LeDoux was, but I am a huge fan of his. I have at least 10 or 15 of his tapes and cds. Most of them I bought on a trip to Montana a long time ago. You could not find anything from him around here in the Northeast but when I was out visiting The Big Sky Country, I found a bunch of his tapes in some old record store and bought pretty much every one they had.
I used to listen to 'Old Cowboy Classics' every night to fall asleep and one of my favorite albums of all time is 'Western Underground'.
Whenever I am in a bad mood I still like to put on his tapes. The stuff he sings about always seems to help me get in a better mood. His songs are always upbeat and positive and he sang a lot of songs about places I love like Montana and Wyoming.
I'm gonna miss your voice Chris.
I'm sure wherever you are there is a prarie with a river winding through it, good, strong coffee and a beautiful sunset every night.
Later Cowboy.
