Wyoming was really hard, and this is one of those days I wish Scott - a country music lover -was still writing for us. But I got it done.
Chris LeDoux - from Wyoming - got a slow start to his music career.
That's because he was a very successful rodeo cowboy. But he did start recording while he was active in rodeo - in 1979, he released his first single, and released a few more prior to his retirement from the rodeo in 1986.
This single, from 1991, was at the beginning of a string of minor country hits, which started in the early 1990s and continued for a few years.
Sadly, LeDoux passed away kind of young, only aged 56, of bile duct cancer. But his cowboy music lives on.
If you really want to hear LeDoux play what would be one of his signature songs - I mean, he was a rodeo cowboy, for Pete's sake - try this performance from 1997.
