Chris was a true country singer, he lived the life, did what he loved, combined genres, a true musician, singer, song writer, a cowboy. You're ability made Garth what he is.
A REAL singing cowboy??? We were all blessed that God gave him to us for his short stent on this planet! Seen him 10 times live. Greatest show I've ever seen! So want to go see the museum in WY...
I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet Chris and his wife Peggy when my step dad drove his tour bus. I was a young child of course, but I still have the memories. RIP Chris. You were a great man and a great cowboy.
He and I was years apart but not so far we both went to Cheyenne Central HS , Cheyenne Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 Live The Legend “... to sit on the back porch listening to CheyTown Frontier Daze night shows?? Johnny Cash! Willie Waylon and the Boys! Loretta Lynn too! But when BTO and Skynrd came! Yeeeeeehaaaaaa “ Go Pokes” under a Wyoming Sky!
@ thetrainman407, get the hell out of hear with the insults man, most people know that Tom is the original, no need to insult someone if they make a simple mistake, just sit down, stuff another pork rind in that mouth and enjoy the song.
I've been listening to Chris Ledoux for about a year now. Man, I loved country, but where was he when I was a kid and he was alive? As a grown man now I find that characteristic much more valuable and I appreciate it much more than I would have if I was a kid. Chris was great, popular and well known. He just never had the presence of Nashville. He was a real cowboy. It's like in his song "Cowboy Songs" where he said "Hank Williams Jr writes'em tough and sings'em rough. Charlie Daniels sings a song about the bills. Waylon and Willie sing about...anything they like.....you might not think this is a Cowboy song. But it is, cause I wrote it and I'm a real life buckaroo" I much prefer this to Rascal Flats. But, as a young man, I appreciate the whole demeanor and personality that Chris comes across in his music. I may not have as a kid. Rest in peace.
Chris LeDoux was and still is by far the BEST country singer. He knew how to tell the story, and with his cowboy background, he had many more experiences than country singers today. He did his music his way, and it made him famous.
Chris LeDoux was a dear friend and he will always be held higher than all others in my mind, when i see him on the other side of those pearly gates me and him will crack open a cold one and sit back and swap rodeo stories just like the good old times... we miss you R.I.P
@@steveeagle153 ... he was a instant hit for us kids back in old Cheyenne Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 and the whole midway started to sing 🎤 along “ This Old Cowboy 🤠 Hat” And wHeeeeeeeHaaaaa ..! Rodeos and the Nightshows and oop see slipppery behind the Bull Pens
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this song hold it In the 70s I'm 60 going be 61 next Tuesday the native Americans need 2 be treated totally marvelous thumbs-up not like they have been they need support respect they will always be here 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love the way Chris turned this song to 11 ! All your fans miss you ☺️.. gone but never forgotten. Looks like he had a lot of fun making the vid. I for one hope so. We miss you Chris. Not forgotten.
I cant say enough how much you enriched my life Chris. I danced in alot of barns in the dirt just too see you and loved you performing at the Grizzly Rose in Denver. The world lost a part of our history when passed but I know somewhere your making music for true blue Cowgirls!!!
Isn't Chris Ledoux just so FRICAN EXCELLENT !!! Love him and his songs....this being one of NUMEROUS ONES. Now, pardon me while I go seek and find and HEAR it one more time ~ "UNDER THIS OLD HAT". Oh, my GOODNESS. YEAH.
I love that in the 2018 version, Tom Cochrane used the pacing of the first verse of this version in the first verse! He also paid homage to Rascal Flatts. No matter who sings this song, it's a banger. Thank you for everything Chris. R.I.P.
I wish country music was still country most of today's stars grew up in the city with a silver spoon in their mouths that kind of music just won't do for a ranch kid like me
Chris LeDoux chose an area, that I know quite well for a lot of the footage. Growing up in L.A. it's an honor that a legend chose my hometown to film his video. I like Tom's original version and Chris' far better than Rascal Flatts. At least neither Tom or Chris sound like a whining 4 year old through out the song.
the song is great no matter who sings it Chris ledoux's life story and all his other songs can't be topped to me this is still the best by Chris LeDoux and it's probably because Chris LeDoux is the best rest in peace mr. LeDoux
OMG My Friend Nick Pennachini loves Chris ledoux and his music Nick pennachini was chosen to be a country singer to sing at the Grand ole opry when he was 19 years old
i know everyone is saying Chris is the best country singer.. but i have to disagree.. because to me he is in a whole other league! ive always said hes a true *western* singer. (edit) R.I.P. Chris Ledoux.. our cowboy hats are off to you.
Annette Gillham Of course it is, Cochrane fronted Red Rider. I'm simply stating the guitars are more prevalent giving it a heavier sound than the original.
@@AnnetteLynnG that's Heartland Rock a genre that was popular in the 80's and Early 90's but died out in the mid 90's and sadly we don't here it that much anymore.
This is the best version of the song by far! But y'all should know and understand that Chris bought the rights to the song meaning he can sing it publicaly and sell it
That's pretty bad that he couldn't write a banger that crossed genres and cultures so he had to buy a song off a man that could..... Sounds like he was really loved but I never heard of him. I can name sever other country artists who are so big that even if you hate country, you've heard of them. This guy is not one of those artists!
Chris’ version of Tom Cochrane’s song. I really dig both versions. Chris being a home boy makes me be biased towards this version. I used to hang out at the music store on Saturdays and Chris did the same when he was in town. Ah, the amp room!
Elmo - San um... first this isn’t a “remix”, it’s a cover. Second, you can’t “prove” anything about a subjective opinion lol. Congratulations though, you proved yourself a bit of a dullard.

Then garth goes woke🤪

Yes mam, in the Rodeo world we gave Garth a pass and look what that Clown did.
A "Woke Okie ".
Boggles the mind.

+Robert Dawson I envy you, you were born with a good star shining on you
Robert Dawson im related to him to chris
hey he is my uncle😂 Wanda is my aunt
Live the best life you can.🚜
Who was your step dad? I spent alot of time with Mad Dog when he was driving for them?
Miss ya Chris. These boys nowdays just aint got that country in em like u did.
Love how lively he is in this video ,sad we lost him ,such a real person
He was just the same in concert. I got to see him once in '97 while stationed in Germany. It was awesome.
One of the best, REAL country and gone way to soon.
R.I.P. to one of the best country singer and bare back riders of all time

bassmaster54tm Chris can turn a pop song into a good country
I started collecting Chris Ledoux music when I was in high school in 1980. Can't believe it took everyone else so long to discover the singing cowboy.
A true country legend, rest in peace Chris, your music put smiles on a hell of a lot of
faces, thank you

@@JustinNichols79 I know I'm 10 years late but who is Tom?
@@mr.monitor.Tom Cochrane, a rock singer, who first sang the song.
I'm only around 12 years old and I know he was the best... I love all his songs but Cadillac Ranch is definitely my favorite. R.I.P
Finally another young listener, have a great day

Listen up. No one is better than LeDoux
3 of the best songs country music ever had, Life is a Highway, This cowboys hat, The Ride.
My personal favorites include his Western Skies and You Just Can't See Him from the Road
Chris owns this song no one sings this song better
He did a decent job, but the original, Tom’s, was the best
Love the way Chris turned this song to 11 ! All your fans miss you ☺️.. gone but never forgotten.
Looks like he had a lot of fun making the vid. I for one hope so. We miss you Chris. Not forgotten.
The best version of this song in my opinion R.I.P Chris LeDoux
Sandy Battles you know this is a cover right?
@@firmanchristiansianturi4794 pretty sure that's what she means by best version of this song.
Oh, come on...! Tom Cochran's voice is a thousand times better. You can't beat the original
Firman Christian Sianturi bruh
Rascal Flatts is better
Seems like Chris really had fun with these videos. There will never be another like him. R.I.P. Chris.
So liked this better as the original. Its AWESOME!!!!!!
Lindsey Pearl this is a cover of the song by Tom Cochrane
Firman Christian Sianturi and Cris did it better. ..
Joe Pontiac no he don’t
Firman Christian Sianturi whatever. .. then watch Toms version. And enjoy .. but I like this version better.
What do you consider the origina
I cant say enough how much you enriched my life Chris. I danced in alot of barns in the dirt just too see you and loved you performing at the Grizzly Rose in Denver. The world lost a part of our history when passed but I know somewhere your making music for true blue Cowgirls!!!
Most entertaining concert I ever attended. Billy Bob's in Ft Worth, Texas.
Thanks for one of the best songs I know. Lata brother
Nobody I mean Nobody can rock this song like Chris Ledoux, I so miss you my friend.
I saw him do this in Amarillo 1995? Great show.❤
Isn't Chris Ledoux just so FRICAN EXCELLENT !!! Love him and his songs....this being one of NUMEROUS ONES.

Sure do miss you Chris, wish we could sit down and have a cold one like old times.
So glad to have met him and play his songs
I love that in the 2018 version, Tom Cochrane used the pacing of the first verse of this version in the first verse! He also paid homage to Rascal Flatts. No matter who sings this song, it's a banger. Thank you for everything Chris. R.I.P.
Why would he pay homage to Rascal Flats -they didnt write this song either lol
I'm confused by the first part but i get what you are saying
Tom Cochrane is the original singer of the song, so how is he paying homage to Rascal Flatts?
I'm loving the vintage camera effects . Legend
Chris has been the only one to keep this song true.....no other has
Chris Ledoux was the last true cowboy. God bless his soul!
Chris LeDoux.... Last real cowboy country singer!!!
spent alot of years crossing this awesome country-listening to this man tell his story-thanks
I wish country music was still country most of today's stars grew up in the city with a silver spoon in their mouths that kind of music just won't do for a ranch kid like me

Always makes me happy to hear this
GREAT song by a rockin' Cowboy Chris Leaadoux..
This man lived the songs he wrote. A real cowboy. RIP
This is much heavier than the original. You can imagine this having some run on rock radio back then. Unique artist, he was.
