Includes liner notes by Chris LeDoux.
Long before Garth Brooks namechecked him in his first single "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)," Chris LeDoux was a legend--a champion rodeo rider, singer, and songwriter. By the time Capitol Records signed LeDoux in the early `90s, he`d released 22 albums on his own. COWBOY presents the re-recorded best of those early songs.
LeDoux conveys a sense of authenticity that the typical faux-cowboy country star can never hope to approximate, painting a vivid picture of the cowboy mindset and the rodeo lifestyle in songs such as "Runnin` Through the Rain," "Ten Seconds in the Saddle," and "A Cowboy`s Got to Ride." He sings eloquently about his personal life in "Our First Year," and displays a wicked sense of humor in songs such as "I`m Country," which ends with a hilarious twist. But the true standout here is "Silence on the Line," a song LeDoux didn`t write. This devastating track about a rodeo man who wants to come home to his wife will bring tears to your eyes and send chills down your spine. With its peek into LeDoux`s world, COWBOY may be the closest a city slicker can get to the rodeo without actually sitting in the saddle.
