Singer-songwriter and former rodeo champion Chris LeDoux
died Wednesday (March 9) in Casper, Wyo., following a
lengthy battle with liver ailments. He was 56.
LeDoux was admitted to Wyoming Medical Center in Casper
earlier this week after experiencing complications from
his cancer. He and his family lived on a ranch near Kaycee,
Wyo.
LeDoux underwent a liver transplant in October 2000 after
being diagnosed with a rare liver disease, primary
sclerosing cholangitis. In November 2004, LeDoux confirmed
he had been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a
slow-growing cancer of the bile duct.
Commenting on LeDoux's death, Capitol Records Nashville
president and CEO Mike Dungan noted, "In a world of egos
and soundalikes, he was a unique artist and a wonderful
man."

I live in Wyo. and my daughter introduced me to this song. Her Father and Father-in-law passed away and she was making dinner for family. The song came on the radio and her comment was. O.K. Boys I hear you...that's enough. Oh my it was a Big Sign they heard. So beautiful.

------ About the song Photo Finish performed by Chris LeDoux
Chris Ledoux is my church. I love to sing along to Bang A Drum at the top of my lungs, a-drivin' down the road in my 3/4-ton 4x4 pickup.
God bless Chris Ledoux. And, if you're ever passin' through Kaycee, WY why, check out the Rusty Spur and the saloon and restaurant across the street.
One of the best! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song (ghost) Riders In The Sky performed by Chris LeDoux
Riders in the Sky or Ghost Riders has been around for fifty or more years and is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest of all cowboy songs. Classic imagery of the "change or you're doomed" morality tale. Take out every lyric and you can still hear the ominous overtones in this song. Check out some of the other versions

------ About the song Rodeo Song performed by Chris LeDoux
I happened to be in Kelowna, BC when the local DJ decided to put this new song on air while he took a bathroom break. The record was new, just arrived from Edmonton, and no-one actually listened to it prior to the airing. The radio station's phone lines lit up like a Christmas tree, and within hours, the record was banned literally everywhere. I managed to get a copy before they took it off the shelves but it's now very hard to find.
I nearly filled my pants laughing as I drove down Kelowna's main street to the nearest record store.

Western Skies | Reviewer: Kansas Jayhawker
------ About the song Western Skies performed by Chris LeDoux
I really liked this song. It is the essence of what a good country song should be. If you like the music of Chris LeDoux then you will like Garth Brooks. Chris and Garth have a duet on the song Ropin' The Wind.
Do you happen to know what year this song was written and the history behind the song? The Cowboy In The Continental Suit was supposedly written about my Grandfather George Hunt so the family legend goes. Back in the early 1900's he was a very popular rodeo star who rode and broke horses.

I have only lived in Wyoming for four years and haven't been closely listening to country music until the last couple. I love this song and wish I had had the chance to meet Chris sometime. I have become a huge fan, but this is my favorite...well one of them, anyway...four more just came to mind that fit that bill too! :)
