Ned LeDoux, son of country artist Chris LeDoux, has signed with Thirty Tigers to release his EP Forever A Cowboy on Dec. 2.
“I’ve been working around country music for a long time, long enough to have seen Chris LeDoux and understand how much he meant to the rodeo community,” said David Macias, President, Thirty Tigers. “He was them and became one of the most important chroniclers of that life through his music and artwork. Sometimes when a child of the truly great decides to follow in the footsteps of the parent, we hold our breath and hope for the best, but in Ned, we find something exciting, something informed by the tradition that he came from, but also very much his own. I should have known when I found out that he was working with Mac McAnally that it would be terrific, and it is. We are excited to welcome Ned into the Thirty Tigers family. I hope (and think) that this will be a long and fruitful relationship.”
Forever a Cowboy, produced by award-winning Mac McAnally, includes “We Ain’t Got It All,” the first new Chris LeDoux co-write in over two decades.
Ned took the song idea from a stack of his father’s papers that included unfinished song ideas and lyrics. He travelled to Nashville and began working with McAnally, where they fashioned one of the ideas into “We Ain’t Got It All.”
