This is by far the best C.D. put out by Chris LeDoux. If you like the song "Look At You Girl", you will love the version on this C.D. and the "Utah Tribute" shows how much we love LeDoux and how much he loves us here in Utah!
I have had this C.D. stolen 4 times and I haven't been able to find it in so long. I'm glad I finally found it here. This is the must have for any true LeDoux fans.

If you're only going to own one Chris CD, let this be the one. You'll be riding horseback right alongside Chris on the open Wyoming plains. Guaranteed to put that "rodeo cowboy" feel in your soul, a pair of Tony Lama's on your feet, and a pick-up truck in your driveway. "Look At You Girl" will make the ladies melt and would make a great wedding song. "Seventeen" transports you into the boots of fledgling cowboy as he prepares to leave the homestead to pursue rodeo life. A true toe tap'n, boot stomp'n collection!

ONE OF HIS BEST EVER!!! BUY THIS ALBUM AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!! THIS ALBUM CAME OUT AROUND APRIL 1988. IT'S GOT 12 TRACKS, THE FIRST 6 ARE A STORY OF A COWBOY, EACH SONG BUILDING ON THE OTHER. THE NEXT 6 SONGS WERE DONE AT LAGOON. (IT'S A THEMEPARK IN UTAH)THE INTRODUCTION OF CHRIS LEDOUX AND THE SADDLE BOOGIE BAND WAS BY DJ "COUNTRY JOE" FLINT OF KSOP RADIO IN SALT LAKE CITY. (HE IS NOW IN THE HALL OF FAME FOR DISC JOCKEY'S IN NASHVILLE) SONG #6 "LOOK AT YOU GIRL" WAS WRITTEN BY LANTY ROSS, A MEMBER OF THE SADDLE BOOGIE BAND WHO PLAYED BASS AND FIDDLE. SONG #7 "SEARCHING FOR A RAINBOW" WAS SUNG BY BRUCE GORDON, ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE SADDLE BOOGIE BAND. HE DID VOCALS AND BACK-UP VOCALS FOR CHRIS LEDOUX. (NOTE: THE SADDLE BOOGIE BAND WAS SALT LAKE CITY BASED) AND YES, THE SADDLE BOOGIE BAND WAS HIS BAND FOR A FEW YEARS UNTIL 1989 WHEN HE WENT WITH THE "WESTERN UNDERGROUND"

This cd *is* Chris LeDoux. From "Seventeen" to "Look At You Girl" to "Call of the Wild" it's songs that echo what is right with the world and looking inward rather than at the chaos worldwide. Definitely one to add.

I have heard this CD and I think there is no better. My favorite song is #4: Sweet Wyoming Home. I say this because I am from Wyoming myself and totaly understand what he is saying. 2nd best is #6: Looking at you girl. I have fallen in love and this explains it the best.

I have listened to Chris since the early 90s and this CD has most of my favorites on it. It's a great mix of ballads and boogie...Chris LeDoux style.

This is a fine collection of great Chris LeDoux songs, but it's a little bit different. I've always wondered who the Saddle Boogie band is/was (Chris' band was the Western Underground) and who is the singer on the song "Chris LeDoux and the Saddle Boogie Band"--it's not Chris.
