This album covers some new ground with a peppy Cajun number complete with squeezebox and French words to go with the English ones. Chris holds true to form and has some rip roaring toe tappers that are hard to sit still for. The first video from Horsepower is on his website. All Wound Up is my favorite on this album. It's hard to get out of your head. Like a book you can't put down. Songs for every age. Good clean fun. In the words of American Bandstand: Horsepower the Album has a good beat and is easy to dance to.

HORSEPOWER is without a doubt the best CD Chris LeDoux has ever released. Several of the songs are poignant and introspective, others are upbeat and just plain fun. "One Less Tornado" is wonderful, "A Cowboy Was Born" is a great tribute to our Western heritage, "Buffalo Grass" had my eyes misting, and "The Ride" parallels my own life. The journey that last song evokes for myself, as a horseman, struck a chord deep in my heart. Chris has gone back to his rodeo cowboy roots, and it's about time.

HORSEPOWER is a MUST for any fan of western music, and an essential addition to any Chris LeDoux fan's collection.

I just listened to Horsepower three times straight through. The first time I wasn't too sure that I liked it. But this is by far the best CD from Chris. He is back to signing great rodeo songs!!!! He adds credibility and authenticity that really bring the songs alive. All of the songs cover different styles. This CD is a must have for any Chris LeDoux fan, rodeo fan and western music fan.

This is definetely Chris' best album to date. What a pleasure it is to hear him sing his rodeo and cowboy songs again. I highly recommend it!

This is Chris LeDoux's farewell albym. A good mix of ballads and upbeat rock. I have bought friends this CD.

This is Chris Ledoux's last album before his untimely death. His live album is his best IMO but this is vintage Ledoux. The only song he wrote is the last one titled Bluebonnet Blues. As a Texan, it breaks my heart knowing that it's his last. You won't be sorry if you are a fan. Buy it.

If you are into the "Western Thang", get this record. It will mesmerize you. You won't keep your eyes dry.

It's hard to believe that a year and a half have passed since Chris died. He is my favorite singer; I've loved his music for more than 25 years, I was a longtime member of his fan club, and I have all his CDs. "Horsepower" is fantastic, marking a full-blown return to his singing about rodeo and the West. A few of his later CDs veered away from his unique strengths and had too many lame love songs that any pseudo-country singer could put out (I have to believe these songs were recorded at the insistence of record company honchos). All the songs are great, and the sad "Buffalo Grass" seems prescient, almost as if Chris knew his time on earth was almost up (as he probably did, given his serious health problems). I will always miss Chris LeDoux.
