Thanks for the review. My husband wrote this song and it’s based on a true story. Chris was an awesome person and good friend. He was definitely the real deal.
Please thank your husband for the wonderful song 🙂
I love this song!
Cindy, I have to tell you... as a 16 year old kid growing up in Nebraska, this is the song that really pulled me into country music. It proved to me that country music can be badass and poetic at the same time. I'm 37 now and still listen to this song, it'll always bring me back to a bonfire on the sandbar of the Missouri river, drinking beer with some of my closest friends. Jake was a big part of my childhood and I didn't even know it.
@@darealist5412 That's awesome!
Cindy Brooks is that true? If so thank your husband for me. One of my all time favorite songs.
Chris Ledoux was an actual cowboy, not a pretender that so many country artists are today. He was one of the all time greats for sure.
Lol no shit. I must admit he was who got hooked on Texas swing music
A World Champion
Marney Robinson yes he was. George Strait also is a rodeo man. Head and heel
That is 100% true love! I'm country myself... I love his music!
AMEN
I got to meet Chris when I was a young boy. He was such a nice person and he let me carry his rig to the mounting area. He climbed on the rankest bull I've ever seen and he pulled off an 8 second ride. As he came off he gave me his cowboy hat. I still have it today.
Youd best keep that hat forever
Oh y’all!!! Thank you for giving Chris LeDoux more exposure! We lost him way too young.
Indeed. Miss him.
Chris was one of the very few country singers of the last few decades who actually walked the walk. He was never truly mainstream because he stuck to his roots in Wyoming and never really played by the rules in Nashville. But he’s quite possibly the most popular “independent” country singer of all time and is beloved by the community. His son Ned is carrying on his legacy these days.
Even got a song about not going and staying in Nashville XD
Gelathius Yep! “Western Skies.” I love that one.
yep... saw him 5x in concert, he was always amazing and one of the most entertaining performers that were was and never got the real recognition he deserved! RIP Chris
@@TerraHerr11 he put as much effort into his shoes as he did into Rodeo. It was Garth Brooks that really brought Chris's music to mainstream country by using Chris's name in his song much to young to feel this damn old.
@@allenmurphy7630 Jamie Johnson.
Chris LeDoux was one of the last great country singers who was a real cowboy. He was a champion bronc rider. Sadly he passed away back in the early thousands I believe. Has a lot of great songs, though. Some story ones, some funny ones, some love ones.
PLEASE do “Riding for a Fall” by him.
Riding for a fall is a slower one. I’d like to see “Copenhagen” a duet with Toby Keith, or “Cadillac Ranch”.
Or “Whatcha gonna do with a cowboy”
Blessed to have seen Chris LeDoux thrice 3 live in concert w/western underground here in San Antonio,Texas,, The Man The Music Lives in our Hearts♥️
If you haven't yet, you should check out his son, Ned Ledoux. He sounds a hell of a lot like his father.
I’ve always liked “Stampede.”
"Sit down and listen to each other." Such wise words, especially today! Another great review!
I circled around to watch this again. Just lost my brother to cancer. He was never without his hat...it is now on his son’s head. Thanks guys.
Chris Ledoux was a real rodeo badass. He was champion cowboy and began singing to entertain his friends on the rodeo circuit. He was basically only famous around the rodeo. In 1989,
Garth Brooks released“ Much too young to feel this damn old” There is a
line in the song where he mentions
“ a worn out tape of Chris Ledoux, lonely women and bad booze seem to be the only friends I’ve left at all” people who’d never heard of Chris Ledoux wanted to know who he was.
Well the rest is history. Practically overnight Chris Ledoux was a household name amongst country fans. Chris had only one wife and several children that they raised in a log house that Chris built himself. Sadly in 2005 Chris lost his battle with cancer.
In a side note Chris Ledoux wrote and recorded the song “Amarillo by morning” a song that George Strait had a smash hit with a few years later.
I grew up on working cattle ranches in West Texas and around rodeos. I remember when the only place you could buy his albums was in feed stores and western wear stores. Chris was part of my early music loves.
He didn’t write Amarillo By Morning. That was written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser a truck driver from Amarillo.
That's a super sweet story....but he didn't write the song. Mr. Strait's version was a remake.
Jennifer Outlaw who wrote it ?
Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser
Casey York if I had read your reply I would have known that. My bad, thanks.
I can’t believe y’all did Chris Ledoux. I am so pleasantly surprised. I love him and it is 2:30 in the morning where I live. I picked up my phone to go to bed and my notifications on my phone said Lost in Vegas Chris Ledoux This Cowboys Hat. I sat down turned on TH-cam to see y’all. I am never disappointed. Thanks for making a difference in the world. You are bringing people together through music. I love that

A friend introduced me to this song years ago and i was listening to it last night with my boys.What a beautifuly written story song with great meaning for today.We are all the sum of our experiences and those who have had influence on our lives.Stand up for yourself and what you believe in ..but dont look to fight, unless you have to, first try and find peace.but if backed into a corner,let em know it aint gonna be pretty if they mess with you.Then back it up.
Bless your husband for the gift of this song. It’s been one of my favorites since I first heard it. Love Chris Ledoux and definitely lost him way too early. But what a list of songs he left us. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Listen to pancho and lefty by willie Nelson and Merle haggard it’s a classic and the story is great
Yes! Great song!
Chris Ledoux!! Loved this video. Chris was a world champion cowboy as someone said earlier. He got started in music selling tapes of his songs out of the back of his car at rodeos. He did get a small record deal before this guy named Garth Brooks mentioned him in a song. "Much Too Young To Feel This Damned Old" which is a song about the life of a rodeo cowboy. Chris was driving down the road one day and heard the line "A worn out tape of Chris Ledoux, lonely women and bad booze, seem to be the only friends I've left at all." and nearly drove off the road. It was then that his music career took off.
He used to ride a mechanical bull/buckin' horse in his shows and was very entertaining live. He and Garth recorded a song together called "Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy" and after his passing, Garth recorded a tribute song called "Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride."
Thank you!!!
David Hampson no, thank you.
He was off and running way before then. He just went mainstream after Garth Brooks mentioned him. He was musically successful before then. Selling music out of western Horseman magazine amongst others. Under his own label his entire family employed by him. And extremely popular amongst Rodeo Cowboys that's a huge Market in itself.
@@codymcgonagill5392 yes sir liberty records I believe
Everybody sayin Garth launched his career, the fir time i saw Garth Brooks was in Sparks Nv. As an up and coming artist, opening for Chriz Ledoux
Y'all knocked me out reacting to Chris Ledoux. I loved that guy. He was a total original, and wrote very personal songs. One of my favorites you might try is "Western Skies", where he directly answers "why won't you just act like all the other country stars?" Thanks. This was a good experience.
R.I.P. Chris, missing your music still.
Have you heard any of his son's music? Ned Ledoux has been traveling with Western Underground. He sings some of his dad's songs, but is a good singer in his own rights.
Chris wasn't a poser ... he was an honest to God Rodeo star - RIP Chris
Chris LeDoux is one of the most authentic musicians that ever lived. He lived the lifestyle of the cowboy life that he sang about from competing as a professional rodeo cowboy and selling his own tapes out of the back of his truck to supplement his rodeo career. He finally won the gold buckle as a champion bronc rider in 1976. He then retired from Rodeo to focus on his music career and raise his family on a ranch in Wyoming. He was an independent artist for nearly 20 years. It wasnt till late in his career that he finally signed a major record deal in Nashville after he was name dropped in Garth Brooks's debut single "Much to young to feel this damn Old". Alot of the songs he recorded were recycled songs from his independent days. At the same time that happened Chris had just recruited a new band that he named "Western Underground" who would be the ones responsible to creating the rodeo rock sound that LeDoux is known for today. His live shows were high energy and often concluded with Chris riding a mechanical bull and lots of pyrotechnics. Garth Brooks has admitted that he pretty much stole Chris's live show for his own. Chris's oldest son Ned LeDoux started playing drums for the band in the late 90's when their original drummer KW Turnbow was injured in an accident. When KW returned they performed with two drummers. Also at that time Chris battled liver cancer and undergone a transplant but eventually the cancer would eventually catch up to him and he'd pass away in 2005. After his death Western Underground continued to tour with a couple different front men to keep the spirit of Chris's songs alive. Then in 2015 Ned stepped out from behind the drums to fill his dads boots and has began his career with Western Underground backing him. Ned performs alot of his dads old songs and has also released an album of all new material. Some of the songs were written from some unused lyrics his mom found when cleaning up Chris's stuff. I suggest you dig some more into the catalog of Chris LeDoux and check out the new stuff his son Ned has put out. Ned sounds so much like his dad its scary!
@@SchafdoggGTO some one just did
My old man bought one of his tapes out the back of his truck wish we still had it sadly it was lost somewhere between home and one of his duty stations
Saw Ned last year, I've never seen so many authentic cowboys in one place that didn't have free beer
@@SchafdoggGTO there was no sarcasm
I read it too. When you want more true info and a quick text just doesn't do it....
Ice T said that the the thing country and rap artists have in common is that they both wear hats and jeans to the Grammys and they tell stories in their songs.
Joe Haynie That’s interesting.
Lol maybe back in the 80s and early 90s. Ever since about 96, almost every rap song has been about making money, hoes, and wheels.
@@KurNorock Nah, there's still storyteller rappers out there, you just have to look a little harder to find them because that stuff doesn't sell records like the "lifestyle" trash that's on the radio today.
@@brianball9713 Funny thing is, it's the same thing with country music now days.
Touching a man's hat is like spitting on him...whether it has sentimental value or not.
You got it!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and reacting to my late husbands favorite country artist. 💕
My husband died 2 years ago, November 5th. He spent years trying to get me to love all of Chris' music and there were only a handful that I ended up really loving. This Cowboy's Hat was one of the 1st that I fell in love with. I love the message, the tempo, the way Chris has with words.
I think my husband is happy I was a part of getting more people to listen to Chris Ledoux. 🤠
I wish I could like this reaction 10 times! I have never heard this song before and I love it.
Check out "Hooked on an 8 second ride" by him. The bull riders anthem
Cadillac cowboy from chris I awesome
Some suggestions check out his songs( Call of the Wild, Western Skies, Stampede & Photo Finish)
Seven Spanish Angels - Willie Nelson and Ray Charles. GREAT SONG
33 or 45 degree angles ? :)
@@mrtips2175 Haha I was thinking 90 degree angles actually! I fixed it, thanks, that was just a test to see who was paying attention 😂
Excellent choice on the song. Still waiting to see you review Chris Knight - Down the River.
@@tyrod28 :) :)
Great song, they may have heard it though because of Ray Charles
R.I.P. Chris LeDoux! My all time favorite country artist.
Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses
Ya'll do a great job at breaking these things down, man, and we sure do appreciate it! Hell of a job!!
I hope they do Letters From Home by John Michael Montgomery for Veterans Day!
Simply Adventures good song and idea
👍👍
Yes, my favorite song
Yes that’d be awesome
Please letters from home
Excellent video, gentlemen. Chris is definitely one of the best of the "Cowboy Crooners".
FYI - "....rope an ol Blue Norther..."
A Blue Norther is a fast-moving cold front that causes temperatures to drop dramatically and quickly. Common characteristics are a dark blue-black sky, strong winds, and temperatures than can drop 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit in a few minutes.
While Blue Northers can occur in other parts of the country, the phenomenon is commonly associated with the Texas panhandle.
They're also known for dumping large amounts of precipitation, hence the "milk it 'til it's dry" line as well.
So I've showed my friends your cast and they can't stop watching because you guys are true to the channel. Your open to good music and that's evident. Your reactions are classic! Your bridging the great divide between music stereotypes and we all appreciate your contributions. Keep it up!!
So I am a white dude who grew up with divorced parents and split my time living half in the country, and half in the hood and thus has always known that “people are people.” As an adult I live and work in both worlds. I am amazingly blessed to have lifelong friends from every culture. I have loved Chris LeDoux for years one of my absolutely all time favorite artists and love you guys and this channel. This makes me so happy you guys did this song and “get it” FREE THINKERS get it. There is wisdom everywhere, I love all types of country AND can recite very word to rappers delight. Skin color doesn’t matter, people are people and great stories in music regardless of genre or race of artist can MOVE us to be better people. Thank you for breaking down walls and stereotypes!
Yessss!
For Veteran's Day -- Letters From Home by John Michael Montgomery, 'Til The Last Shot's Fired by Trace Adkins, and Travelin' Soldier by the Dixie Chicks.
and 8th of november by big and rich
Another good one for veterans day would be tim mcgraw's "if you're reading this"
Chris sang with such ease. His voice is so soothing. Such an amazing artist, a true cowboy. He lived the life he wrote about. Thank you guys for the incredible reaction.
Lisa Marie Hanson Absolutely. 1976 World’s Champion Bareback Bronc rider. The guy that sang You Just Can’t See Him From the Road. A real dude, for sure. Dang, I love Mr LeDoux, God rest his soul.
I am not a "Big" country fan although I do like a fair amount of country music, The writing and vocals, especially the harmonies, are consistently amazing.
"All that glitters is not gold" by Dan Seals. It's a song that says its not always a man's fault. Tells a lot of stuff. If y'all get time please listen 2 it. I think both will like it.
Jeremy Sheets I’ve requested this too. Really hoping they do it.
Yeah, a great song that always make me tear up...hope you guys will react to it.
A Bronx tale is my favorite movie. "Now you's can't leave" you know some shit was about to go down after that.
I am SO happy you finally did this song!!!!!
RIP Chris LeDoux
I live in Wyoming where Chris had a home and was a wonderful person. He lived in Kaycee Wyoming ! There is a beautiful memorial park in his name . This is country underground. His son Chris Ledoux keeps his memory alive. Thank you for sharing his story he is still a legend here .
Chris Ledoux was always my favorite. He was a real cowboy and sang what he knew. It made his songs sound genuine, which is something often lacking in music today. I almost didn't click on this video because I didn't want to see someone making fun or being disrespectful of who he was and, with reaction videos, you never know what you're going to get. After seeing the way you handled this one, I went back and watched some of your other videos. I just clicked subscribe. :) Keep up the good work guys and thanks for being so open minded.
Just for record... Chris Ledoux was the real deal. He was the cowboys cowboy. He rode rodeo in real life and was a cowboy first singer second. Garth brooks got his ideas and live style from Chris and also famously drops his name in his hit song. Alot of times record labels create a image which is fine you just enjoy the music thats what its all about. But if Chris said dont touch my hat and you proceeded well...then you probably should prepare for a ass woopin.. Not a poser the real deal god bless and RIP CHRIS LEDOUX.
I met him several time and have an autographed copy of Gold Buckle Dreams. He was SO the real deal. Kind and friendly, took a REAL interest in his fans. Took time to actually talk to us. I loved him so much
George Strait - Amarillo By Morning
Yes please @lostinvegas
Did you know Chris LeDoux actually recorded that song before George? Obviously George took it to great popularity, but y'all should check out Chris's recordering of it, if you've never heard it.
Yes! That song is the embodiment of country music
Or 8 second ride.
Yes. Yes. And yes. That’s my jam with my sister.
I’d love to watch you guys react to more Chris Ledoux. He was an excellent story teller, a real cowboy. Anyone who has ever competed in rodeo knows who he is. Try listening to Seventeen or hooked on an 8 second ride.
My absolute favorite, most the time makes me tear up, is Ain't No Place for a Country Boy. Several of Chris's songs pull at my heart strings, but that one, the most.
I was a daddy's girl and one of the first things he taught me was you NEVER EVER touch a mans hat. My granddaddy's nick name was Shine, he made and sold moonshine and he always wore a Stetson cowboy hat. And he taught me the same thing. I have seen a lot of arguments and fights in my life and one thing about it that's beyond true, You will not and best not ever touch a mans hat! Mr.Chris Ledoux was the best at every thing he done. He actually rode bulls and also sang country music. He is an icon to Country in every sense of the word. Ever song he sings is a story and mind blowing.
Or Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers great songs...... now I've been following y'all for a while now so please fellas keep up the good work
Great story in this song
@@robbyburnett9066 definitely and I know they would get a kick out of it
totally agree with Coward of The county. In fact that song came to my mind listening to the reaction comments about this one. Coward of the county is like a mini movie in a song.
Man, I havent listened to that one in a while. Away I go!
@@BelindaTN there actually is a movie based on the song. Same name.
Midnight in Montgomery by Alan Jackson. I feel you guys would truly appreciate the story the song depicts.
This is definitely a track they'd be into. I second this recommendation.
I'm not sure that they would, since they don't really know Hank Sr.
Hank Sr. and Alan Jackson are two of my most favorite artists, but I never really cared much for Midnight in Montgomery. It's a good song, but not one that I care to listen to.
Yesss
No, Midnight in Montgomery and George's Who's Going to Fill Their Shoes are two songs I'd never suggest a reaction to. The whole meaning of these songs is knowing all the allusions and references they contain. If you don't know the history of Hank or Country music in general, they don't make much sense. Same with DAC's The Ride. Great songs, but not for this purpose.
My daughter shared this video to me . I've always been a Chris LeDoux fan!! From the early days, before his name was a household name among ranchers and farmers .. he was raised on his family's ranch, he was a real cowboy, a real rodeo champion!! And .. he liked to write songs and sing.
I'm glad you two guys understand the song!!! It is all so very true! Somewhere, we all have a little bit of common ground.
Only way you guys could have made this video any better, would have been to do it before Chris passed away....... And had him in studio with you.
His son Ned has picked up where his father left off. He's been doing his father proud!! Check out his videos, I think you will like the stories.... Especially his song, "The Hawk".
Thanks for a great video!!
I want to say thank you for this review from the bottom of my heart. It made me look into Chris Ledoux more, and find some songs that really resonated with who my Dad was and the way he went about life. Specifically the song "(I used to want to be a) Cowboy" and how I can see the ways my own Dad went about life now and how's that's reflected in me in the few years since he's been gone.
Let me start by saying how much I respect that you guys, regardless of knee jerk reactions on how you think a song will be, keep open minds and really listen to the music. It is surprising how much truly good music there is out there. I am a rock guy at heart, but when I listen to country I listen to Chris. His songs are always really deep or just plain fun. You should check out either "Photo Finish" or "Billy the Kid" (my favorite song by Chris). Another interesting factoid, he was best friends with Garth Brooks, and after his death Garth came out of retirement to perform a tribute to him called "Good Ride Cowboy". He uses titles of Chris Ledoux's songs as the lyrics all throughout it. It is a really good song as well. You may want to check that one out as well.
Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard-Pancho and Lefty
Great song. Not as good as Seven Spanish Angels with Ray Charles
I like Townes Van Zandt's version better. From the Heartworn Highway.
@@Gutslinger - Griffith did nothing wrong.
Waterboy '97 Love that song
This is one of those songs that I just find it so hard to believe that not everybody has heard a million times. I can’t imagine life without growing up without the music of Chris LeDoux. R.I.P. Chis LeDoux and thanks for all the great memories.
You guys need to listen to Hank Williams jr, "A Country Boy Can Survive"
yes!!! absolutely they need to do Bocephus!
Do some Marty Robbins, some more good old school cowboy stuff. Big Iron is my favorite of his songs.
Mr Shorty
George said "bicycle gang" and I about lost it.
I swallowing water and I near damn choked! Funny stuff man!
as did I lmao
He was just speaking freely and slipped up hahah, y'all knew what he meant
You guys did a good job on this I'm glad you guys broke it down and totally understood us cowboys. We aren't just hick cousin lovers. Wish everyone was like you two, Great job guys
So great to see this. Chris was a true cowboy who sang how he felt and influenced so many people
Chris LeDoux, another under appreciated artist. Garth Brooks thinks highly of him. Another under appreciated artist you guys need to check out is Radney Foster. His album Del Rio Texas 1959 has a bunch of great songs, Went for a Ride, Louisiana Blue, A Fine Line, Closing Time, Old Silver, etc.
Radney's song Angel Flight will leave any grown man in tears.
Its a shame he passed away
It's nice to see other people who know true country
Thank you!!! This really shows y'all are so open minded. Chris LeDoux was not a country singer really. He was a cowboy singer and a real cowboy. He lived the life he sang about, rodeos and ranching. He died in March 2005. He started out making his own CD's and selling them at rodeos. He never fit the country mold and wouldn't cave to corporate radio as to what his music should sound like, and to this day he is not played much on main stream country radio. He is one of the best story tellers and has countless songs that are amazing. If y'all react to more of Chris's songs, check out "Riding For a Fall," "Songs of Wyoming," "Powder River Home," and "The Ride," just to name a few.
@@dantelabella9753I'm guessing you're saying western is greater than country? And western is cowboy songs? If I'm reading that right, then I agree. I love country, but cowboy poets and singers are a lost art nowadays.
@@markmiller6920 It ain't a lost art, you just can't seem 'em from the road!
Those of us in the cowboy world have followed Chris through his rodeoing days in the 70's.He was the RCA (Rodeo Cowboys Association) world champion bareback rider in 1976. Started singin his songs behind the chutes , on the tailgate of a truck , on a hey bale. He recorded his first 8 track tape, and his parents copied them and printed them out. Sold them out of his truck at rodeos. Feed stores, and tac shops, sold them . You ought to watch some of his videos and concerts. He was a crazy , funny guy. Lotta heart. Died some yrs back. His liver burnt out. Shore miss him.
I appreciate your respect for both artist, writer and singer.
Country is a way of life .
This was new to me, and really impressed me as well. Besides the meaning, I loved the poetic chorus. Those lyrics reminded me of that old country/western classic "Ghost Riders In the Sky", which was beloved by a dear friend of mine because her dad loved it so much. After her dad died, we'd occasionally hear it somewhere & she'd say "That's Dad letting me know he's thinking of me." Now she's gone, way too young at 52, and that song always makes me miss her. So did this song in a way. Really enjoyed your reaction, guys. And love you, Cindy, wherever you are.
My sister used to sing country music professionally, so we used to go to a lot of her shows for moral support. One regular show had an amazing banjo player who'd sometimes take requests for Ghost Riders in the Sky, and it always gave me chills. To this day, I sometimes put it on just to get that good, shivery feeling. I'm sorry for your losses and don't mean to take away from that at all. Just glad to see someone else loving songs I love, though for very different (much better) reasons.
This is a great choice guys. Great reaction.
Now there's a real 100% cowboy, I have seen him twice, fortunately. DO NOT TOUCH, a cowboy's hat EVER! There is moral to the story, a true ballad, lovely story. I think you guys are so cool, fun to watch!
I appreciate you guys. Three years later, we need this now more than ever. God bless!
Y’all oughtta react to Charlie Pride, you will be really surprised of his story and that he was even relevant in country considering the time period and racial issues that were present 👌. I feel like a lot of the black community don’t even know about Black Country artists that existed and still down country without listening to the older music. It’s pretty cool
Some of the countries people i know were old black folks hanging around fellow white folks, when you live in a small street town, racial issues where never a big problem they were there, but everybodys just trying to survive and live
Devin Mccurry it wasn’t meant for us small town country people , cuz I totally agreee with ya, I meant more of the newer generation that hear all the false shit on the media that translates to them hating on the small town country folk like us
mama tried "merle haggard" really good song with a good story too"
Totally a great story. Yes.
Or "Sing Me Back Home"
@@scottbell5822 hall yes
Hell yeah
Indeed a classic
One of the baddest songs in country music, by one of the REAL cowboys. Chris LeDoux was no fake. He was the real rodeo riding deal. I dont particularly care for country music. But I LOVE almost everything Chris Ledoux put out. And that says something huge. Badass song that one.
my favorite takeaway from this video is "Sit down and listen to each other". Man that phrase will cure society! We all need to sit down and listen to each other without the noise!
El Paso by Marty Robbins!
Yes yes yes
They said they like how country tells a story. This is the perfect story song.
Big iron is just as great
This would be a great one to visit!
Yes ! Excellent idea. Needs to happen.
This song was just MADE to be reacted to.
Thank guys for trying to understand our culture and lives. Chris was the true embodiment of a man and a cowboy. He was world champion bareback rider, a husband, a father, and every little country boys hero! Most people don't understand the Country Music is More then just women alcohol and trucks it is a lifestyle and it is part of what makes America America
Great video fellas, nice to see you both touched by one of my all time favorites and a true rugged American individualist.
I highly recommend you listen to another folk take he did, called "Yukon Rose". I think you'll love it.
I was lucky enough to see him with my daughter here in rural Ohio before he passed away.
Thanks for the great video my brothers
Riding with private Malone by David ball
Cw Hobbs I second this!
Yes
Oh for sure
What a fantastic song that one is. And also it's just begging to be reacted to.
Seconded! Or, sixth'ed? Whatever, i agree!
Chris is known not just for his fantastic bronc riding and song writing but as a cowboys cowboy.....
The cowboy hat can't just be bought it's earned
chris is one of the best if not the best story telling country singer ever
I really glad you enjoyed that song. I was born in vegas and raised on a farm in pahrump. I was raised listening to Chris ledoux, this song is a favorite. Well done being open to it!
Kenny Rogers - coward of the county, Reba McEntire - Fancy, Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses.
Believe - brooks and Dunn
Copperhead road - Steve Earle
Please y’all! I promise you. It’s worth it
They've already *reacted* to Believe ....good review
Grace T when did they react to believe? I saw the Neon Moon reaction but never Believe.
Yes, Copperhead Road!
X2 for Copperhead Road.
Concur with the Copperhead Road
I am a cowgirl who loves every genre of music, little bit about Chris LeDoux that many people did not know
Chris LeDoux -
Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame › bareback-riding
From there, LeDoux turned professional and qualified for the National Finals Rodeo four times, earning the 1976 world bareback riding crown. Throughout his career, LeDoux competed in all three roughstock events.
He was the epitome of a true cowboy and a hero to many that have followed in his boot prints.
Yes George...The hat is more than meets the eye! Chris Ledoux is missed. Thanks to your husband Cindy Brooks! Good review yawl!
Hank Williams Jr. - COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE
It's old school country and a great story song
Larry Gustafson that’s the song that got me liking country music.
Cowboy poetry. 👍🏻 Chris is a king.
May he rest in peace always
Amén to you both.
As a man that had the absolute pleasure of spending a little time with Mr. Ledoux long before he left this world I will tell you that this world would be a much better place with more people like Chris Ledoux. He was a true cowboy in every sense of the word. He loved his wife and his kids more than anything, including his music. Even though he probably would have become a much bigger star had he moved to Nashville but that’s not what was important to him. He preferred to be at home with his family and on his ranch. Anyone want to know how a real man should should treat people and their family? Read up on Chris Ledoux and take some notes. Then you’ll know. RIP cowboy.
Chris Ledoux is TRUE "cowboy country." I am SOOOOO glad to see the "Lost in Vegas" crew review this song. The late GREAT Chris Ledoux means A LOT to us classic cowboy country lovers. Thanks again, Ryan and George. I love your channel and respect your commentary.
React to John Anderson “Seminole Wind” great song!!
Jason Gardner Yeah id really like to see that. Amazing song.
Would be great
Amazing song.
Yes!
Yesss
If y’all ever decide to revisit Chris Ledoux definitely do Cadillac Ranch. It’s a banger trust and believe. And it’s only like 3 minutes
I really love you guys. I, like you, am not a Country Music enthusiast, but started watching your Metal videos and really, really appreciate your openness toward all genres; it's lovely and I thank you.
I'm from Wyoming and Chris Ledoux is a legend here since he is from here and his ranch is in Kaycee, Wy. Even in country music nobody writes songs about Wyoming or the Mountain West. Chris Ledoux represents a country/cowboy culture thats different from most of country today that focuses on midwestern experiances and is really hard for me to identify with, but Chris Ledoux is the only artist that sings about the culture I grew up with.
Thanks for doing Chris Ledoux. He was a great writer and entertainer.
Been waiting forever for this!!!!
I really appreciated all you do to keep a open dialogue. You guys have a postive message, thats rare these days. Keep it out, we need each other.
Thanks for the review and God bless Chris Ledoux!! I love your videos
You Guys need to hear "Ships that don't come in"
by Joe Diffie
Or Third Rock from the Sun.
Or pick up man
Good job guys. As an FYI...Chris Ledoux is Western, not country. Country, western, blue grass, and folk music were condensed under the umbrella of "country" as a category by radio stations because it "simplified" the genre. There are a lot of musical differences between these groups. In today's era of country, there are a lot of hybrids now that encompass all of these different styles, but I can say that Chris Ledoux is pure WESTERN and he never wanted to stray from that.
On a side note, I'd like to hear you all react to Mr. Bojangles by Jerry Jeff Walker, or Dixie Chicken by Little Feat.
OMG! I love Mr. Bojangles!
LISTEN TO “A BOY NAMED SUE” BY JOHNNY CASH
Listen guys I really appreciate you being open minded. I love all music and I don’t have any barriers and it’s refreshing to see someone else who is the same way.
Check out David Ball. Riding with Privet Malone.
That is one of the few songs that can guarantee I will be bawling by the end. Awesome song/story.
Great recommendation! That is always on my veterans/memorial day playlist, as is Jason Isbell's Dress Blues.
What she called a Chevy was a 66 corvette
Yes
That's a really good one
“Coward of the county” - Kenny Rodgers
Dillin Geibel they’re not ready :)
Yes!!! This is a good one!!!
Please! This song is actually amazing. If you like a good story in a song, this is the one for you!
Chris was a real life champion rodeo cowboy. He was considered "underground" country for a long time. I saw him in Orange County, what a performance.
Chris LeDoux is the quintessential cowboy poet. I highly recommend Cadillac Ranch
Tougher than the rest is also another great one by Chris
Joe Widau this song is awesome. They could react to him or Springsteen singing it and I would love it.
@@SouthernScarlettASMR seventeen is one of his favs too
They are all great
Chris LeDoux was the King, George Straight is amazing but LeDoux sang about real people. RIP
I try to tell people that all the Time
Chris LeDoux has an interesting story, he was an NFR Saddle Bronc Champion and sold self produced tapes on the rodeo circuit while competing. The CMT documentary on TH-cam on him is good.
If you think George Strait didn't talk about real people you're crazy
El Rey is George Strait
Just got on to you guys. On a marathon now and I love y’all. Old country definitely rules. Love you guys so keep it up.
Hey guys, I grew up in a small southeastern Montana town, and now live about 42 minutes from where Chris lived in Kacey, Wyoming. Being a daughter of a true rancher/farmer I learned from the time I was put in my daddy's arms, how important that hat is... not only did they have stories behind them. But it provided shade from the sun, protection from the rain, and made an awesome fly or bee swatter when needed. As a child you where taught to respect a man's hat, and that meant until he said it was ok you kept your hands off... thanks for the review!
