This is what I like to call Country music. Now I really enjoy all country music, but this music reminds me of my rodeo days. To see Chris die at such a young age just puzzles me, but knowing that he accomplished so much in his music I think it's fair to say he lived a really great life. This music is wonderful and I love to take it with me camping!

This is a must have for all Chris Ledoux fans
I have over twenty of his albums and this is right up with the best of them. I have loved Chris work ever since I came across a copy of Gold Buckle Dreams in our local music store 15 years ago the man may be gone but he will live on through his music forever.

Chris LeDoux exemplified the spirit every American should aspire to have. He was a true American hero, not a flashy 15 minutes in the spotlight person but one who lived a long dedicated perseverance of honorable character. He worked hard at his passion of sport and music. I also admire his apparent love of his wife and family. In my opinion, Chris was an example of the unique American nobility where one's greatness is measured "by the content of their character." He belongs in the hall of fame with Pat Tillman, Susan Butcher, Henry Tureman Allen, Daniel Boone and the like. We are fortunate to be able to hold on to these memories through his music.

There is something about the simple, smooth and clear nature of his voice that exposes the fun and honest personality which comes though every song.
Some songs are better than others, but I haven't heard a song by him I don't like. It's all good!

My heart breaks when I think this wonderful, talented songwriter is no longer with us. Thank you for keeping his songs alive. There was and always will be only one voice like Chris. I highly recommend this album, telling it like it is in the Rodeo Life. Rest in Peace Chris. Deb

The life and music of Chris LeDoux lives on in this tribute to the legend of Country Music and the Rodeo. From the Classic LeDoux hits, Copenhagen and Bareback Jack, to the new song Airborne Cowboy, this CD features 20 of Chris' most exciting and inspirational songs about living the Western lifestyle. This CD is definitely recommended from the collection of one Chris LeDoux fan to all the others. Special thanks to Peggy LeDoux for adding the final notes to all who worked with Chris over his lifetime and the ending note from a loving wife to her fallen hero. This musical collection truly shows Chris LeDoux was a "Mighty Lucky Man"

These are great songs known and loved by all longtime Chris LeDoux fans (and I've been a fan for about 25 years), but surely Capitol could have come up with a better tribute than yet another repackaging of old Chris songs (true, there's one new song). After all the years Chris recorded, surely there are at least 10 unreleased songs somewhere. Capitol could have used the new song on this CD and the two previously unreleased songs on the first box set and then found seven more. Maybe Capitol could even have persuaded Garth Brooks to include his tribute song to Chris.
Since 1994, Capitol has released NINE compilations of Chris' previously released material (two box sets, live, best of, greatest hits, re-recordings, and two other collections). How many different ways can Capitol re-release Chris songs and rip off his fans?
"Anthology" is a poor tribute to my favorite singer of all time.
