Ned LeDoux has new music on the way, including a brand-new music video coming soon — and in this episode, he joins Drifting Cowboy to talk about his own career, carrying on the LeDoux name, and the legacy of his father, Chris LeDoux.
Ned shares what it was really like growing up on the road with Chris LeDoux — rodeo champion, country music legend, and one of the most electric live performers to ever step on a stage.
In this conversation, Ned tells stories from inside Chris LeDoux’s band, from mechanical bulls and pyrotechnics on stage to the wild energy of those legendary concerts. He also opens up about finishing some of his dad’s unfinished songs, building his own path in country music, and working with Mac McAnally to help bring those songs to life.
Ned also talks about Chris LeDoux’s friendship with Garth Brooks, the impact Garth had on introducing Chris to a wider country audience, and why Chris LeDoux remains one of the most beloved and authentic figures in country music history.
This is a conversation about family, rodeo, country music, legacy, and the kind of performer they simply don’t make anymore.
