Christopher Lee LeDoux, born on October 2, 1948, in Biloxi, Mississippi, was an American country music singer-songwriter who began competing in rodeos at age 13. His musical career started in the early 1970s with songs about his rodeo lifestyle and released his first album Rodeo Songs 'old & New' in 1973. LeDoux gained national prominence in 1989 when mentioned in Garth Brooks' hit "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)". He signed with Capitol Records subsidiary Liberty Records and released Western Underground in 1991, followed by Whatcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy, which reached the top ten. The title track, a duet with Brooks, became LeDoux's first and only top-ten country single. LeDoux recorded 36 albums that sold more than six million units in the United States. He received two gold and one platinum album certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was nominated for a Grammy Award. LeDoux passed away on March 9, 2005, at age 56.
