Rip Notes
---------

The late American music legend Chris LeDoux was a steadfast westerner who sang
firsthand of rodeo glory and pain while living the life of a bona-fide
modern-day cowboy. Honoring his authentic and lasting legacy of cowboy
songwriting, recording and performing, Capitol Nashville/EMI will release
Classic Chris LeDoux, a new CD/DVD and digital collection of his top recordings
and videos, on April 29. Among the 15 audio tracks and 15 videos on the new
collection are LeDoux's "Bang A Drum" with Jon Bon Jovi, "Whatcha Gonna Do With
A Cowboy" with Garth Brooks, and the music video for "Ridin' For A Fall," making
its commercial release debut.

A true cowboy, Chris LeDoux wasn't driven by the prospect of fame or money when
he began pursuing rodeo professionally, or when he starting writing and
recording his own music. In pursuit of the World Championship in Bareback Bronc
riding, which he won in 1976, LeDoux spun his stories of life on the circuit
into fresh western anthems. Recorded in a true mom-and-pop shop, LeDoux sold his
recordings out of his pickup truck at competitions and quickly found a devoted
audience and high praise for his bonfire ballads and lyrical candor.

In 1989, one of LeDoux's more famous fans stepped forward with an endorsement
that validated the rodeo champ as a true country music artist, bringing
widespread and mainstream attention to his music. Garth Brooks, in his early hit
"Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)," referred to playing "a worn out tape
of Chris LeDoux." That same year, LeDoux signed his own recording contract with
Capitol Nashville.

With sales of his 36 albums totaling more than six million units in the U.S.,
one platinum and two gold album certifications from the RIAA, a Grammy
nomination and the Academy of Country Music Pioneer Award, LeDoux's career flew
high during his life and continues to resonate after his March 2005 death from a
rare form of cancer at the age of 56.
