Anthology Volume 1  (Audio CD) 
by Chris LeDoux

Anthology, Volume 1 includes 20 career-spanning songs and proves to be an addition to the music we've grown to love from Chris LeDoux. As a bonus, Capitol Records Nashville has included one previously unreleased track, "Airborne Cowboy."

LeDoux, who lost his battle with cancer of the bile duct on March 9, 2005, at the age of 56, had a career spanning more than three decades, recording 37 albums. He began in the early '70s with such hits as "Cowboy Like Me" and "Too Tough to Die," and gained national attention when a fellow country singer, Garth Brooks, mentioned LeDoux in his song "Much Too Young to Feel This Damn Old." LeDoux joined Garth Brooks at his label, Capitol Records Nashville, and went on to sell more than six million records worldwide.

On July 16, 2005, LeDoux was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame as the first honoree to be inducted under two categories: Bareback and Notables (for his contributions to the sport through his music). LeDoux, an icon to many rodeo and music fans, was able to expose the sport he loved to the masses through not only his own accomplishments in rodeo, but through his songs about rodeo--and, more importantly, in the way he truly lived the cowboy lifestyle.
