The official music video debuts at Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk
Friends and family of the iconic cowboy, singer, and songwriter Chris LeDoux gathered to celebrate his song “This Cowboy’s Hat” earning RIAA platinum certification as well as the debut of the official music video for the tune. LeDoux’s son Ned accepted the plaque on his late father’s behalf joined by RIAA’s Jackie Jones and UMGN EVP of Marketing, Lori Christian.
The staff of downtown Garth Brooks’ Nashville’s Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk joined the party all wearing Just LeDoux It t-shirts as the crowd celebrated LeDoux’s life and legacy through song, and enjoyed a big screen debut of the official music video for “This Cowboy’s Hat.”
“I love the story this song tells,” says the video’s director, Jeff Carter. “The Western setting, the flashback images, the honor and courage of the cowboy, the common ground, the resolution. As I learned more about Chris LeDoux the man, the ideas in the song were also the principles he stood for.”
The family has another personal tie to the video as it features Ned and his bandmate, Lane Turner.
Also a touring artist, Ned performs his music mixed with some of his dad’s many hits like “Western Skies,” “Hooked On An Eight Second Ride,” and “Cadillac Cowboy.” He has upcoming dates across the US and Canada through November 2024, and he vows to carry on the LeDoux brand of music the world knows and loves.
