Chris LeDoux And The Saddle Boogie Band - Chris LeDoux And The Saddle Boogie Band

Review by Martin Cid

Chris LeDoux And The Saddle Boogie Band's self-titled album is a classic country music masterpiece that showcases LeDoux's exceptional skills as a singer and songwriter. The album features a perfect blend of traditional country sounds with a touch of rock and roll, making it a unique offering in the genre.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Hooked on an 8 Second Ride," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. LeDoux's vocals are powerful and emotive, and the Saddle Boogie Band's backing instrumentation is tight and polished.

Throughout the album, LeDoux's lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and storytelling, which is evident in tracks like "Cowboys Like a Little Rock and Roll" and "The Ride." The latter is a poignant ballad that tells the story of a rodeo cowboy who loses his life in the arena.

The album also features a cover of Bob Seger's "Against the Wind," which LeDoux puts his own spin on, making it a standout track on the album. The Saddle Boogie Band's rock-infused sound adds a fresh dimension to the song.

Summary by Martin Cid

Chris LeDoux And The Saddle Boogie Band's self-titled album is a must-listen for any country music fan. It's a timeless classic that showcases LeDoux's exceptional talent and the Saddle Boogie Band's musicianship.
