Ned LeDoux is a Country Music Singer/Songwriter who just released his new album "Buckskin". Ned joins Country Music Made Me to discuss the importance of a strong work ethic passed down from his Dad and Grandpa growing up on a ranch in Kaycee, Wyoming, how important the support of his Mom was and continues to be within his musical journey, and why he was drawn to the drums at a young age. Ned and Brendan talk about his first band "Cow Town" in Junior High, how joining his Dad, Chris LeDoux, in his band the Western Underground in his late teens helped him become a professional drummer, and how his career evolved following the passing of his Dad in 2005, taking him from behind the drum kit to in-front of the microphone. Ned explains what it was like the first time he sang in-front of an audience, how he began songwriting thanks to his Dad's producer, Mac McAnally, and some unfinished songs, and how that has led to a successful career that includes 3 full length albums. Finally, Ned talks about debuting his new music at the Grand Ole Opry, what it was like to perform with Garth Brooks at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2021 in honor of his late father, and he shares stories from his new album "Buckskin".
