How did chris ledoux wife die

While many modern day country singers like to think of themselves as cowboys, only Chris LeDoux could lay claim to being the real McCoy. A former champion bareback rider, he pioneered what he calls ‘rodeo rock’n’roll, an exuberant, foot-stomping brand of high-energy rockin’ country music, best captured live. In the early 1970s he was a rodeo cowboy who played guitar and sang his own songs. Along the way he recorded 22 albums on his own label. They were often rushed productions, but LeDoux’s performances and the song quality could not be faulted. Those early albums made a big impact on a young Garth Brooks, not to mention thousands of fans all across the States. LeDoux got his big break due to Brooks, who sang about listening to ‘a worn out tape of Chris LeDoux’ in his 1989 hit Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old), which was enough to create international interest in Wyoming’s singing cowboy. Signed to Capitol/Liberty Records, he soon became more than just a cult hero, and scored chart hits with Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy (backing vocals courtesy of Brooks) and Cadillac Ranch
