My Life is A Country Song!

      Country girls are cooler than ever, Baby!
When I was younger, I remember a lot of people my age were not nearly as enamored of country music as me. In other words, they laughed at me for listening to it. Among many other things...but who has the last laugh now?

My secret theme song. Also, I thought this link was super cute!

Jane Dear Girls, love their sweet country girl style! Click the pic for a video!

Miranda Lambert, I just love this girl! Click the pic for the video that made me love her look at first sight! Another cute video, plus guess what I just found on her website?

Dixie Chicks, who I love and whose politics are not up for discussion here. Click the pic for a great song, and click here for another!

And let's end with this baby doll, Loretta Lynn. What a cutie!

Chris LeDoux

     Chris Ledoux was a rodeo man originally, and started writing songs to support his passion for rodeo. He's one of the greatest influences in country music that you'll never  hear of. His voice and style of writing are very plaintive and simple. You know he says what he means and means what he says. He meets two of my criteria for musical greatness: He writes his own sings, and he's true to himself (he sings what he knows). There's not much I can say that he doesn't say more eloquently himself, so just have a listen, y'all.

     Some great songs to get you hooked:
Not for Heroes
God Must Be A Cowboy
Western Skies
 County Fair
Watcha Gonna Do With A Cowboy (with Garth Brooks)
     He passed away of cancer a few years back, leaving his widow off 33 years as well as their five children. Garth Brooks came out of retirement to release a tribute to Chris, who was Garth's personal hero. Garth Brooks is one of the good guys around our house...always a classic.
