Chris Ledoux was one hell of a man. I was able to see him live about 15 years ago, he rode the mechanical bull during the show and everyone tossed copenhagen cans on stage. For being 15 years old it was crazy. I live in Idaho too so your video rocks.
if you've been to the northwest.....or wyoming....or idaho...you know what he's talkin about. it's a magic part of this country. can't wait to get back there. someday...............................
I love the song and the video is sensational!! I've been to Wyoming and there is absolutely nothing there but dirt and bramble bushes!! Montana on the other hand,if you go up into the moumtains is very,very beautiful!
Who could possible dislike this song? Seriously, that had to be an accidental click of the mouse as it moved accros the screen. A tear would slowly fall off my face if that ever happened to me on a chris ledoux song...
south, west, east, north, who gives a damn... shut the fuck up and show the man the respect he deserves. Ya yello belly cowrdly sorry excuse fer cowboy posers.
Great video. This song means a lot to me, as it represents the beauty and awe that I experience every time my truck points west. I live to for those mountain sunsets and those rolling fields in the moonlight.
I think it's really funny how much shit people talk, and how there is NO meaning behind it at all what so ever! Who gives a fuck about the pictures behind the music, they're all in the western states aint they? Chris was one hell of a man, he was represented the cowboy way of life better than anyone I have ever seen! I myself ride bulls for a living, I own a 50 acre ranch in cali, and thoogh it aint much, I'm only 21, and I've done it all my own, and I'll live the cowboy life till I die!
Chris lived in Wyoming, but he was born in Biloxi, Mississippi on October 2, 1948. He was a cowboy in the real meaning of the word. He rodeoed, loved life and lived hard.
cowboy is cowboy no matter the hat shape or the style of yer leggins or the deffinition of a fine pony but cowboys are humble and proud not quick to become angry and slow to say whats on ther mind and watch ther mouth in front of the gals and thery are surly not worked up over were the pictures were taken in a video on the intenet box.
justin jensen from wyoming grew up on ranch 20 mi out south of buffalo hwy 87. this cat chris ledoux was my fuckin neghibor. thrity miles away. 307. no idaho, no washington, no montana!!!!!, kaycee wyoming, not the cow boy state, but the Equality state, country boys like there open space.
people people people.... jeeze all come to wyoming and learn what its about. its the best country state, live in the mountains wake up.. get some coffee. have a cigar. ride horses thats what lifes about live it fun and happy like chris. :)
@jensen4567 if i'm a tourist then how come im from cody, wyoming 82414 hmm??? ur probly a person who just dosn't like to have fun so. im sorry if you think that but it's not true. And yes i know not everyone takes the whisky rode. but that dosn't madder it's just the way some songs make you feel.
Great job on this video. I had a girlfriend from Wyoming once who had met Chris at one time. I eventually made it out there and got to see some western skies myself. Thanks for the post.
@bjwarfel Actually if you want to get technical, he was born in Mississippi and raised in Austin, Tx. But it doesnt matter, he was as western as they come. I was born in wyoming, but somehow ended up in MN. But Mr Ledoux, was the last of an already rare breed. Most of these people will never be able to write and sing songs like he did because he lived what his music was about. there isnt a song of his that doesnt set a picture in my mind about what the song is about. He was a true artist.
@bjwarfel So, Post "Song of Wyoming" with some nice photos from Wyoming. I would love to have that song on YouTube, and I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to do it myself.
Chris was an ultimate renegade. Couldn't and wouldn't sit still. Should a man work long hours through thick and thin because his heart tells him to; then yes, this man would understand the cowboys life.
Chris paid tribute to the ability of stickin with it, stead of walkin away. Points out reasons for stayin, and plants a message that counters current pushes for becoming a "star", or the "rich and famous" attitudes.
"This old hat" should be a reckoning for everyone to pay attention to.
I grew up in Tennessee. I now live in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. I believe a man ought to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, not because some lawman or preacher says so. I believe a mans word is a contract. If a mans word is no good, then a contract with him is no good either. I've bought and sold cattle, horses, tack trucks and land with just a handshake and an agreement. I work generally 70-80 hours a week. That's the real cowboy way.
@Hawk6DM And I enjoy rodeos, don't beleve it is cruel to animals and enjoy a good steak with my potatoes. If y'all dont like all that...Well, you know.........
@Hawk6DM And I enjoy rodeos, don't believe it is cruel to animals and enjoy a good steak with my potatoes. If y'all dont like all that...Well, you know.........
every one wants to be a cowboy... dont mean to be arrogant but i think half you never been on a horse... i grew up a working cowboy long hours and low pay.. use to rodeo rode bucking horses... it was the freedom going down the road having chris ledoux on the radio... i have a uncle thatsa world champion won in 95.. he rode with chris in the seventies.. chris was a good man a honest man he said...
Some of you really don't know what the hell you are talking about. I am former rodeo cowboy now turned fishing guide. I know and knew Chris from days back when. I know his kids they have been to several shows I rode in ( bareback broncs) He was a very good guy no attitude nothing I spent several times sitting with him conversing about the days back when. He is the ultimate true meaning of a "Cowboy" from the boots to his grin. So some of you need to shut the hell up and quit running your mouths.
a cowboy isnt made, it isnt taught, it comes from the heart. you start early ends late.after the stock is feed you get to eat your always tired,your always sore.never rich more or less your always poor.but as i said its in the heart so who is poor? and who is rich thank you Chris for filling our hearts
A song of Clint Blacks talks about how a melody can bring back memories. Nothing but great memories listening to Chris Ledoux. Miss his concerts.. RIP Chris Ledoux, one of countries all time greats!
im from ne texas where the county pop. is 10,000 and the cattle pop. is about 25000. im a little bit of bout southern and western. and i lov it :) this is my friends profile
I was nine years old touring the chutes at the daddy of em all. Saw Chris sitting under the stands strummin away, got his autograph. Saw him play with Garth on more than one ocassion. I love his music and he is sorely missed. Maybe ill see some of you folks at the 2010 daddy of em all.(I love Cheyenne.)
Just cuz u say yall dont make u country u dumm ass and if u think its about that ur a complet dumm ass cuz it aint and ur most likely the worst 1 of all a wanna b
Jlohden I am in Wind River Country right now. I can see the Wind Rivers from my kitchen and dining room windows, beautiful today. Listening to Chris Ledoux, eating breakfast, and looking at that view, there is nothing better in this world right now and no place I would rather be.
I feel fortunate to have been able to see him in concert before he passed on to ride the prairies of eternity. He will be missed and he went on too soon.
March 9th marks the 6th anniversary of his death. Please call your local radio station and request his music that day . Let radio know that we will NEVER forget him.
This video makes me miss western Wyoming. I never thought I would say that being a native Texan, but after being back here for a year I would love to see a Wyoming sunset and the Wind River mountain range frome my front porch again.
I used to live in Idaho!!! I loved it there!!!! I miss it SOOOO much! It's SOOOO beautiful there and I'm TOTAL country girl!!! ;) But my mom wanted to move where most of my family lived. I miss you Idaho!
haha. as he was from Wyoming, it doesn't mean his road trips (concerts, rodeos) to Montana, Idaho, AND Utah didn't inspire him. What where those lyrics?- I'm leaving old Salt Lake, with a push and a pull. BTW, the title IS "western skies" not "Wyoming skies."
Also, check out This Cowboy's Hat video. Where was he? The Dee Event Center- in Utah. Where did he perform a lot back in the day? Lagoon- Farmington, Utah ;)
reminds me of being back home. atleast i get to enjoy the most beutifull land during my summer season. never forgot how lucky i was to meet chris 5 times and the last he remembered me. he was a good man and will be missed. god bless these western skys.
man people need just grow up everyone is a cowboy?cowgirl in therre heart and leave it at that just comment on the video and just honner chris good video and awsome pics
boy yall be makin chris nrite proud ifn he say the crap yall are puttin up on here. theres real cow counrty from texas to montana n cali well to kansas anyway n the southeast. yall sayn yer real cowboys u aint even close, aint a 1 of ya has any manners or respect
If ya'll consider the facts, I don't believe any ya'll are true country, nor Cowboys, or respectful Southerners. proof is in all the ignorant rambling ya'll are typing, cowboys, ranchers,and pure country is about god, respect for others, and family. YOU ALL ARE DISHONORING CHRIS WITH THIS BULL PUCKY! R.I.P Chris you where a good friend!
Yep. Seems like a lot of folks are runnin' around these days acting "country". Drugstore cowboys. It's like they're trying to show how "country" or "cowboy" they are. Where I come from, real cowboys don't have to prove it. We say our prayers, treat ladies with respect, and take off our hats when the flag comes by at a rodeo. I don't even go to rodeos anymore because so many of these "country folks" show up acting cocky and rude. They won't stand or remove their hats when the flag comes by.
I know what you mean... I totally forgot I had my hat on once at a Clay Walker show, and the anthem was played with Marines marching. Someone reminded me I had it on, and boy did I feel like a heel. I dont know why these teens and 20 somethings have no respect anymore, but I know most of their parents did. We'll get it back one day. God blass the Cowboys, Farmers, and Ranchers!
@Linkster2o Actually I find it funny that you don't realize that the west was most likely settled by Southerners. The South was settled long before the west. When you consider that, it's not surprising at all that the west and South are alike.
I am not true country, nor a Cowboy or a respectful Southerner. All I know is I grew up under the Western Skies this great man sang about and will forever remember Chris LeDoux. Yippie Aiii
@Hrtbeat1 your right sir there is to much disrespect in todays so called cowboys. now ima redneck but if i called my self a cowboy i would be dishonouring the name. i will say this. just because i dont like all these kids pretending to be cowboys doesnt mean they aint out there some where i know they are. doing what they do best.
kirst1973 and where exactly are you from??? must be a yankee only stupidasses and a queer would come up with that kind of shit. oh yea, thats 3 and not 2......... stupid yankee
009budman what the hell are talking about???!!! what hte fuck does the mid west have.... corn, wheat:(??? hahahahaha thats real cowboy country fucking dumdass muther fucker.i will come and find you and feed you to my hog dogs and watch you die a long suffering death..... dont fuck with me or TEXAS
@chubbyninja16 You're a dumb ass!!! Texas sucks ass!!! Fuck all the cattle and you!! You've never been to the midwest, then you're missin out Wilbur!!!
My Step Dad was Chris's Bassist Till he Past RIP Chris WE MISS YA....They still have the Band its called Western Underground check em' out......THANK YOU ALL
yes sir, i love these western skies, ridin my horse, and them wyoming family get togethers... i might only be 17 but sittin at the ranch drinkin beer ready to ride the fence lookin for stray cow, is so much fun, srry u had to leave us... gotta love them western skies
I'm just happy to be in the midwest like chris and he wrote about it. The east coast destroys america. Bout to move to wyoming fom nebraska and can't wait. Been to colorado new mexico , arizona, utah, montana , but idaho was the shit.
i can understand what he is saying so much and i live in kansas i love the sky in the morning in the summer we were getting up like 430 go ride it was so so pretty watching that sunrise up its like non other sight you could see but it is just like the sunset never the same
But don't move here because our most beautiful country smells of cow manure and gets -35 degrees in winter. You are welcome to visit though! Don't worry, I will keep it hospitable for you until the day I die.
this song about sums it up. Kaycee and the Powder River area is beautiful, there's a remote campground west of Kc past the famous "Hole in the Wall" that is to die for.
I took my first pronghorn out by Kaycee back in 2005... I love it up there! If I could move somewhere under the great western sky I definitely would.. trout fishin, mule deer, among many other things, doesn't get much better than that!
@BaptistKitty Then you have never heard of the colorado i know. Endless plains blue skys. Ive thought of this song many times while on our pasture or on the range hunting. look up the Pawnee grasslands. thats colorado at its finest and as chris says you have to be where you can see those mountains from the plains....

this is a great song. He's talking about wyoming. NOT Montana or idaho.
dabears9187 2 years ago
haha. as he was from Wyoming, it doesn't mean his road trips (concerts, rodeos) to Montana, Idaho, AND Utah didn't inspire him. What where those lyrics?- I'm leaving old Salt Lake, with a push and a pull. BTW, the title IS "western skies" not "Wyoming skies."

blueamigo77 2 years ago
If ya'll consider the facts, I don't believe any ya'll are true country, nor Cowboys, or respectful Southerners. proof is in all the ignorant rambling ya'll are typing, cowboys, ranchers,and pure country is about god, respect for others, and family. YOU ALL ARE DISHONORING CHRIS WITH THIS BULL PUCKY! R.I.P Chris you where a good friend!

Yep. Seems like a lot of folks are runnin' around these days acting "country". Drugstore cowboys. It's like they're trying to show how "country" or "cowboy" they are. Where I come from, real cowboys don't have to prove it. We say our prayers, treat ladies with respect, and take off our hats when the flag comes by at a rodeo. I don't even go to rodeos anymore because so many of these "country folks" show up acting cocky and rude. They won't stand or remove their hats when the flag comes by.

I know what you mean... I totally forgot I had my hat on once at a Clay Walker show, and the anthem was played with Marines marching. Someone reminded me I had it on, and boy did I feel like a heel. I dont know why these teens and 20 somethings have no respect anymore, but I know most of their parents did. We'll get it back one day. God blass the Cowboys, Farmers, and Ranchers!

Not really, considering the south was settled first.

@Linkster2o Actually I find it funny that you don't realize that the west was most likely settled by Southerners. The South was settled long before the west. When you consider that, it's not surprising at all that the west and South are alike.

But don't move here because our most beautiful country smells of cow manure and gets -35 degrees in winter. You are welcome to visit though! Don't worry, I will keep it hospitable for you until the day I die.
