One of the most unappreciated country singers of all time. Brooks did one thing that was great. When he put that line about workout Chris Ledoux tape in that song. Opened doors for many to Chris’s music. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Mr Ledoux.
Doggone right, he'll never be forgotten. Chris LeDoux gets played in our farmhouse a whole lot. We love hearing his voice and can't help but watch his videos. Our Virginia farm is a long way from Wyoming though now and again during a thunderstorm I swear I can see Chris riding across the lightning in the sky. Our family's blessings go out to his family and friends, we feel like he's been a part of our farm family for a long time and he'll remain that way too.
I didnt have a choice but to love Chris LeDoux. Ive been listening to him sence I was a baby. My dad was a bareback rider and a bullrider. My dad passed away when I was four ( in 1997) and Chris's music to this day some how helps me connect to my dad and remember the few short years I had with him. You are very much missed Chris LeDoux. Thank you for blessing us with your music. R.I.P and God Bless
We all miss Chris and I feel sorry for your dad and I feel your pain my grandpa loved Chris and would have done anything to save his life . Sadly he passed away December 6, 2000.
For what it's worth I just discovered this inspirational man. And I guess that's the best tribute we can give. After all these years people like me will hear one of his songs and say "Man who's this guy?!?"... Take a moment break from our lives and find out who he was, appreciate his talents and hard work, and see a true example of a life well lived and a true American spirit. Mr. Ladoux thanks and carry on!
So glad I got to see him at the Pueblo, CO state fair before he died. Even though he was suffering from liver cancer, he still put on an amazing show, riding his mechanical bull and pulling up the net for the Copenhagen song! He was such a class-act, a true legend!
Not just the greatest cowboy singer of our time, but also a fantastic role model for every young man. Thank you, Chris for all the romantic times I've had at your concerts!
Never had the chance to meet my cousin chris ledoux he died when i was 10 years old , but it's quite a honor to be related to him , he's a country music legend rest in peace chris ❤🙏
I saw him in concert twice. The first time I had been going through a very difficult time. His energetic, fun, totally alive concert was just what I needed at that moment. He was fantastic. And I DID wear out his tapes.
Hello there 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will make you smile.
In ‘97 and ‘98 I was blessed enough to see Chris at the Greely stampede, the grizzly rose, and Cheyenne frontier days. I never missed a show. I remember Everytime he sang Copenhagen, all the cans of Copenhagen dip that would come flying onto the stage. God rest your soul Chris! Your music helped me become who I am today.
WOW!! WHAT AN AMAZING MAN OF HEART, TALENT & LOVE!! LOVE HIS RESILIENCE AND STRENGTH AND WANT FOR MORE IN LIFE. HE LIVED LIFE TO THE FULLEST !! GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY. R.I.P CHRIS 😍 HE WENT TO DARN YOUNG!!💔💔💔
Thank you Garth for your kind heart and helping Chris. Tears to my eyes seeing you both on stage. I wish i could to do that for someone. Your my favorite.
last time i saw him was 1998? he played the boone county fair in columbia mo.. first time i saw him was i was 8 yrs old in the granddaddy .. was hooked on rodeo..his songs helped many a night..the fair in columbia mo .. i still find inspiration in his music..
Chris was the whole pkg family man husband entertainer rodeo man and all around mans man I wish I got the chance to see him live and meet him rip bro you are missed
I had the pleasure of watching, listening and meeting Chris way back when, at the Strong City Rodeo in Kansas. We watched a great Rodeo and danced and sang the night away with Chris and the band. Met him after, what a kind, gentle man, with a spark of too funny. Loves him since then and miss him now. Thank goodness we had memories like this and his music that lives on ! Rest easy now Cowboy !!
Chris Ledoux has been my role model since I was about 8, he has inspired me, I always thought I was just like him, I live on a farm, I'm a cowboy. My friend had asked me to listen to a song that was called bar back jack, then I discovered Chris Ledoux on his songs. From then on he has been my favorite singer.
A true diamond. I've been a huge fan for years. He exudes my idea of what a man should be, what men use to be. Stand up, hard working, God fearing, families strength and support. Chris was a blessed man for sure and I'm sure his wife and kids would agree. For me Chris is at the top of my list of "the last of true men" right next to Charlie Daniels❤
From Bareback Jack, Them Bareback Horses, and Photo Finish to Sons of the Pioneers, Western Skies, The Buffalo Grass, Wild and Wolly and, of course, This Cowboy’s Hat, Chris represented my Western Roots and life style to a T. God Bless Chris and the LeDoux family! If any of you are ever driving on I-25 and are near Kaycee, WY, exit the highway at Kaycee and find the park where the bronze that depicts Chris’s world champion bareback ride is at. It’ll take three minutes to find it and I promise you’ll stay for at least thirty.
Growing up in the heart of cowboy country in Wyoming Gillette the big rodeo town and land of open sage brush, cactus, and rolling hills and mountain's not far to the west powder river country I heard Chris every where I even driven past the the great cowboy ranch.
One error : when Chris is talking about the song his fans want at their wedding, he said he knew they meant "look at you girl" and described his courtship of his wife. But in this video, it plays "tougher than the rest." But otherwise a lovely video, thank you for posting this here x
Such a excellent interview that I have never seen before today... Last week I went to a Garth Brooks concert in Branson Missouri and Garth happened to be wearing the T-shirt that said "Just LeDoux It" so that is the shirt I bought after the concert... Like many other people I discovered Chris's music back in the 1990s when his name was mentioned in that Garth Brooks song "much too young to feel this damn old"... After that I quickly fell in love with Chris's music and probably own most of the albums he ever put out... To this day he is still my favorite country artist of all time.
An amazing cowboy and entertainer. I saw one of his last concerts in Arizona with Clay Walker. RIP.

This might get long winded so bare with me. I'm just discovering his music. I'm 45 and will listen to anything as long as it sounds good. Everything from Beethoven to Black Sabbath to N.W.A. to Tina Turner to Son House to Johnny Cash, and everything in between. I really didn't give country a chance until I was a teen in the 90s, and how couldn't you??? Brooks and Dunn, George Strait, Alan Jackson, etc. I had only heard his name mentioned in other songs, and all I can say is....damn. When I think of a country singer's voice, this is what I think of. Rest In Peace Chris, and thank you.
You will never be forgotten Chris. We always looked forward to you visiting Greensboro NC. We always had a blast! Thank you for the memories! Rest in Heaven buddy! Many prayers of blessings to your family. See u again someday playing in heaven
I’m 18 I was born in 2005 and I absolutely love Chris LeDoux he was an underrated artist and THE singing Bronc Rider. I’d rather listen to him sing those “Cowboy Songs” than most modern stuff today.
On base concerts free to service members and family. Truly a blessing from an extremely giving man with a heart larger than the man. See you on the flip side....
I, with my brother (bull rider) and my dad (retired military veteran) met Chris backstage about 25 years ago. Got to talk with him about riding and the military for about 30 minutes. Chris's dad was in the military, so he always had a love and appreciation for the military folks. As we were parting ways, my dad thanked him for the show and the lengthy talk. Chris actually shook my dad's hand and said "No. Thank YOU, sir, for your service to our country. I'm just a cowboy. You and my dad are true heros". The first time I've ever seen a tear come to my dad's eye.
Angelus Domini Nuntiavit Mariae it has 5 dislikes probably people who don’t know a truly amazing man chis is, if I turn out to be half the man Chris is
He still is the best! Unfortunately I’ve only been listening to country for almost 30 years. I used to be rock and my daughter used to love country and still does but she started I believe when she was in the ninth grade listening to country music. I actually super glued my car radio to where My daughter couldn’t change my radio to country. What I’m about to say it is a fact I used to say if I ever started listening to country take me out to the back and shoot me. I used to think it was depressing. Growing up I actually enjoyed something that most people don’t even know but I enjoyed western music I’ve always gotten a hard time about what I’m about to say but the first album I ever bought back in 1973 when I was 13 was John Denver. I come from a family of 10 and I used to get teased about it and now I don’t care anymore I still enjoy his music to this day. Then later on I got into rock. But somehow along my years I got into country and I realized I really enjoyed it. Somehow approximately a year and a half ago when I was listening or should I say watching UA-cam country that I ran across Chris. I had never heard of him before. That is a big regret for me because after listening to his music I realized that I really really enjoyed him and then I found out that he passed away way too soon. Today is Sunday, July 11 and I’ve been watching his music on UA-cam for the past five hours or so that’s how much I enjoy him. I just love his music and his personality the more researched him I found out what kind of man he really is and how he feels about his family and man he’s blown me away. What a man, just what a man. I just love his music and I love his song writing and most importantly what kind of family man he is. To me that’s the most important thing to mean whenever I listen to anyone. What kind of man are you? When I make a friend or enjoy listening to someone’s music the first thing that comes in my mind that I look in anybody is what kind of man or woman in some cases are you. I am actually enjoyed someone’s music and then when I find out about their private life that will make it or break it for me. I don’t believe in getting married if you’re going to cheat on your wife or your husband. I have actually stopped listening to different music artist when I find out that they cheated on their partner to me that says what kind of man you are and to me that’s everything to me. I’m so glad I finally ran across him because until I started listening to him George Strait was one of my favorite artists and then I would have to say Garth Brooks. Now that I’ve started listening to Chris is number one on my list he is my number one artist and then everyone else falls in place behind him. It’s kind of funny because we both have the same first name but I just wish I knew about him before I wish I could’ve seen him in concert thank goodness for UA-cam! Some mornings like this morning I wake up and I crank up my A/V gear And I turn the big screen on and I am a happy camper. He’s just such a man I mean he’s bigger than life! I’m so happy I ran across him somehow. May God bless him and I look forward to meeting him in in the afterlife. I’m writing this post because I hope his family and his children could read what I’m writing because to me he is everything!!! Love you Chris!!! GOD BLESS!!!
I knew Chris Ledoux for real when he rode Bulls and I was running barrels and when he played his music at the COW PALACE. I loved his story telling songs. My favorite was That Strawberry Roan, I loved the song because Rangus my strawberry roan gelding we ran those Barrels, we roped, we rode endurance, dressage...he was a GREAT HORSE, ILOVEDHIM
Been to so many of his concerts here in Utah. I'm friends with alot of people who used to bunk with him during his rodeo days. I love to hear the stories Clay Stark tells about bunking with him on the rode. Used to run into the band during the cutter race's at the Weber County fair grounds.
He always went to a nearby rodeo if he had a show in town. A friend I rode bulls with, named Jody Howell, turned bull fighter. Chris sung Jody the Rodeo Clown to him sitting on the porch of the admin office.
I've actually been listening to LeDoux's older songs more than his newer ones. Home Town Cowboy is one of my favorite songs because it describes my luck with a girl I grew up with, only I didn't have to attempt any bull riding for her to break my heart and start dating some guy from Wyoming. Copenhagen, Copenhagen Angel, and Used to Wanna be a Cowboy are some of my other favorite Chris LeDoux songs.
When Garth says his live show is just a Chris Ledux ripoff….He ain’t wrong….I came to find Chris later on after his passing but man he could sing and put on a hell of a show
One thing is for sure, other then Chris LaDoux and George Strait I don't know of any country singers that actually rode in rodeos. As many records he sold can't believe he went so unnoticed for so long. I was 18 in 89 and decided I was smarted enough to leave home and moved to Montana lol. That's the first year I heard this guy and been a fan since.
Damn sure miss Chris. Got to sit down and have a beer between sets in Stillwater when I was in school there. He was a real regular guy that enjoyed a couple of talents he really didn’t talk about. He just wanted to relax with a couple of other cowboys and bs a bit. I’ll not ever forget it or him. He was a really good guy.
I'm 7 minutes into this video about a Man that lived life. Im not watching anymore cause I can't see video for the tears. A good family man and a good friend.
One of the most unappreciated country singers of all time. Brooks did one thing that was great. When he put that line about workout Chris Ledoux tape in that song. Opened doors for many to Chris’s music. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Mr Ledoux.
That song by Garth Brooks is exactly how I found out about Chris Ledoux as I had never heard of him before... Now I think I own most of his music CDs.
Doggone right, he'll never be forgotten.
Chris LeDoux gets played in our farmhouse a whole lot. We love hearing his voice and can't help but watch his videos.
Our Virginia farm is a long way from Wyoming though now and again during a thunderstorm I swear I can see Chris riding across the lightning in the sky.
Our family's blessings go out to his family and friends, we feel like he's been a part of our farm family for a long time and he'll remain that way too.
Chris Ledoux made Garth famous! Garth even admits to stealing his whole stage show.
A true loving & caring person. He let me bunk with them, when there was no more motel rooms at a Rodeo School. RIP....Chris.
He must have been a TRUE gentleman, so very rare R I P CHRIS!
You can't watch him or listen to him without feeling the magic and knowing that he's someone special !
I didnt have a choice but to love Chris LeDoux. Ive been listening to him sence I was a baby. My dad was a bareback rider and a bullrider. My dad passed away when I was four ( in 1997) and Chris's music to this day some how helps me connect to my dad and remember the few short years I had with him. You are very much missed Chris LeDoux.

We all miss Chris and I feel sorry for your dad and I feel your pain my grandpa loved Chris and would have done anything to save his life . Sadly he passed away December 6, 2000.
Lane Henkle I want Chris Ledoux you can listen to other
Your folks named you after the great Lane Frost?
God bless Chris LeDoux.
I can hear Garth Brooks in that sentence
A friend of mine introduced me to Chris LeDoux 12 years ago by playing me This Cowboy's Hat and I was hooked from then on.
RIDE COWBOY RIDE !
RIP chris. You were in a class all alone. A true cowboy, a mans man. You made the world a better place. Peace brother
For what it's worth I just discovered this inspirational man. And I guess that's the best tribute we can give. After all these years people like me will hear one of his songs and say "Man who's this guy?!?"...

Mr. Ladoux thanks and carry on!
I miss this guy So much. He was and still is a huge inspiration in my life. R.I.P.
Me two I was his second cousin
So glad I got to see him at the Pueblo, CO state fair before he died.
Even though he was suffering from liver cancer, he still put on an
amazing show, riding his mechanical bull and pulling up the net for the
Copenhagen song! He was such a class-act, a true legend!
I never missed a show at the fair in Pueblo. RIP Pard.
God Bless Chris LeDoux.... He has been a hero of mine for most of my adult life. He lived the life of a cowboy, husband and father....
I met Chris LeDoux in 2000 at a hotel in salt lake City Utah and didn't even know it till the next day that I was talking to the country music legend
This was one tough dude who always believed in himself, his zeal for life is inspirational.
Not just the greatest cowboy singer of our time, but also a fantastic role model for every young man.
Thank you, Chris for all the romantic times I've had at your concerts!
Never had the chance to meet my cousin chris ledoux he died when i was 10 years old , but it's quite a honor to be related to him , he's a country music legend rest in peace chris ❤🙏
What a man and the rodeo Will miss him can't replace a guy like him

Sadly, LeDoux was one of the last of a dying breed. Hardly any left anymore. RIP sir.
I had the pleasure of watching, listening and meeting Chris way back when, at the Strong City Rodeo in Kansas. We watched a great Rodeo and danced and sang the night away with Chris and the band. Met him after, what a kind, gentle man, with a spark of too funny. Loves him since then and miss him now. Thank goodness we had memories like this and his music that lives on !

My favorite is Billy Bonnie! truthfully the best song i've ever heard still yet...east and west of new mexico
Chris Ledoux has been my role model since I was about 8, he has inspired me, I always thought I was just like him, I live on a farm, I'm a cowboy. My friend had asked me to listen to a song that was called bar back jack, then I discovered Chris Ledoux on his songs. From then on he has been my favorite singer.
Same here but since I was 2 years old.
Love
i have been a long time ledoux fan sence the early 80s
Great 👍 👌 singer with a unique voice.
My favorite is Cadillac Ranch. I was born in 1959. I am from Wyoming. Love this! Thanks.
“Now it’s just something i used to do” well put Mr Ledoux. I must say looking back now sometimes the hardest times are the best times.
god blesss chris ledoux for ever
Thanks for posting this, from the uk. Love his music.
He Will Always Be The Best
Just discovered this man yesterday. His music is beautiful
Love this! Look how trully happy 😊 he looks...it in the voice and eyes!
A true diamond. I've been a huge fan for years. He exudes my idea of what a man should be, what men use to be. Stand up, hard working, God fearing, families strength and support. Chris was a blessed man for sure and I'm sure his wife and kids would agree. For me Chris is at the top of my list of "the last of true men" right next to Charlie Daniels❤
Very Happy birthday Chris in this important day the day You were born Happy 70th my friend You are missed !! RIP
That's fantastic.
Chris is still alive in my heart. Will always be the great cowboy. Thank you Chris
He was one of my reasons and passion for country music. I have always admired and carry with me his good songs. Eternal Chris.
From Bareback Jack, Them Bareback Horses, and Photo Finish to Sons of the Pioneers, Western Skies, The Buffalo Grass, Wild and Wolly and, of course, This Cowboy’s Hat, Chris represented my Western Roots and life style to a T. God Bless Chris and the LeDoux family! If any of you are ever driving on I-25 and are near Kaycee, WY, exit the highway at Kaycee and find the park where the bronze that depicts Chris’s world champion bareback ride is at. It’ll take three minutes to find it and I promise you’ll stay for at least thirty.
Feel so blessed I got to see him a dozen times.... Idaho falls loved him all the way to Colorado
Growing up in the heart of cowboy country in Wyoming Gillette the big rodeo town and land of open sage brush, cactus, and rolling hills and mountain's not far to the west powder river country I heard Chris every where I even driven past the the great cowboy ranch.
Me and Chris have spent many hours driving through the the woods on back roads. I've worn-out a lot of tapes and cds. He's dam good company. 😊😊
I saw his show at McGee Park Farmington Nm, I remember he said, "If you chew please quit, if you don't please don't start."
God bless Chris Ledoux!
One error : when Chris is talking about the song his fans want at their wedding, he said he knew they meant "look at you girl" and described his courtship of his wife. But in this video, it plays "tougher than the rest."
But otherwise a lovely video, thank you for posting this here x

I grew up listening to Chris Ledoux's music, my step-dad and Mom had every record of his and I would listen to them, while visiting.
God bless Chris Ledoux
Never missed one of his shows in my younger years now I haul cow's and listen to him all night . Brings back memories
An amazing cowboy and entertainer. I saw one of his last concerts in Arizona with Clay Walker. RIP.

Chris LeDoux is one of the few men who have actually "roped the moon."
I was 11 years old, but I grew up, loving Chris LeDoux
He was a hero of mine, I wish I could have shook his hand and let him know how much his music has meant to me through the years.
I’m 18 I was born in 2005 and I absolutely love Chris LeDoux he was an underrated artist and THE singing Bronc Rider. I’d rather listen to him sing those “Cowboy Songs” than most modern stuff today.

I get to play cards with him at a bar room gig he played long time ago a true cowboy and a humble man
I just found his music. He has given me hope after my husband went to heaven.
My Hero. Met him several times. He knew me by name. Proud to call him friend! I miss you, Cowboy!
So much miss this man and his music
I knew Chris Ledoux for real when he rode Bulls and I was running barrels and when he played his music at the COW PALACE. I loved his story telling songs.

Bless you and thank you for sharing this.
I really like his music and he is definitely missed by all his fans and country music
I was fortunate enough to see him in Ohio. I’ll never forget it. He was a great man and performer
Happy birthday Chris R.I.P Chris and Charlie ✝️🇱🇷💪🤠☕
I had a hard time going through Casey. I used to haul livestock for him. They treated us like family. Love you Chris.
People who dislike this video or Chris is just a keyboard troll
No there keyboard warriors
He wa such an energetic person. So talented.
The king chris
love the can pack at the end. good ole cope snuff
A great artist.
Been to so many of his concerts here in Utah. I'm friends with alot of people who used to bunk with him during his rodeo days. I love to hear the stories Clay Stark tells about bunking with him on the rode. Used to run into the band during the cutter race's at the Weber County fair grounds.
Oh I love the ending when he pulls out the dipcan. lol
He always went to a nearby rodeo if he had a show in town. A friend I rode bulls with, named Jody Howell, turned bull fighter. Chris sung Jody the Rodeo Clown to him sitting on the porch of the admin office.
I've actually been listening to LeDoux's older songs more than his newer ones. Home Town Cowboy is one of my favorite songs because it describes my luck with a girl I grew up with, only I didn't have to attempt any bull riding for her to break my heart and start dating some guy from Wyoming. Copenhagen, Copenhagen Angel, and Used to Wanna be a Cowboy are some of my other favorite Chris LeDoux songs.
When Garth says his live show is just a Chris Ledux ripoff….He ain’t wrong….I came to find Chris later on after his passing but man he could sing and put on a hell of a show
One thing is for sure, other then Chris LaDoux and George Strait I don't know of any country singers that actually rode in rodeos. As many records he sold can't believe he went so unnoticed for so long. I was 18 in 89 and decided I was smarted enough to leave home and moved to Montana lol. That's the first year I heard this guy and been a fan since.
Chris LeDoux legend of country music ♥️ 🤠 🎸 🎶 ❤
Gone to soon. A real man, and a real artist.
I have always loved Chris ledoux....😊😮🎉😂❤❤❤
Damn sure miss Chris.
Got to sit down and have a beer between sets in Stillwater when I was in school there.
He was a real regular guy that enjoyed a couple of talents he really didn’t talk about.
He just wanted to relax with a couple of other cowboys and bs a bit.
I’ll not ever forget it or him.
He was a really good guy.
I was lucky to see Chris ledoux in concert before he passed away I sure miss him
excellent video
There is no MOLD like Chris LeDoux
Loretta Sanchez agreed. There was no mold for Chris, the lord forged him by hand.
Miss this man this ol boy was a good dude rip chris
Man if there's any song Chris did that didn't feel like Chris, it's life is a highway.
A true legend

I love everything about all your music forever RIP I will always love everything about your music 🎸❤❣❤🎸🎼🎵🎶
Had the privilege to see him at the neshoba county fair when I was a kid. He put on a great show and was very passionate about his music and fans.
I'm 7 minutes into this video about a Man that lived life. Im not watching anymore cause I can't see video for the tears.
A good family man and a good friend.
Growing up listening to Chris, I can admit as a grown ass man I cried the day I heard he had died.
The best and truest cowboy of them all😢
That SMILE!!
