Album Notes Personnel: Chris LeDoux (vocals); Mac McAnally (acoustic & electric guitar, mandolin, accordion, Hammond B-3 organ); background vocals); Jack Pearson, Brent Rowan, Brent Mason (electric guitar); Larry Franklin (fiddle); Mark Holland (wood flute); John Jarvis (keyboards); Mickey Bukins (percussion); Jo-El Sonnier (squeezebox); Wes Hightower (background vocals). Recorded at Treasure Isle, 17 Grand, and Dan Williams Music, Nashville, Tennessee; La La Land, Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The astounding fact that Chris Ledoux has managed to record nearly three dozen albums worth of songs devoted almost exclusively to rodeo life is enough to ensure his place in the country music history books. Even more incredible, though, is the consistently high quality of the ex-bronco rider's output. Songs like "One Less Tornado" (the tale of a deceased cowboy who now resides at "that big rodeo in the sky") and "The Ride" (in which an grizzled rodeo denizen doles out "The Gambler"- style life lessons to young hopefuls) combine the best melancholy storytelling style of Marty Robbins and Townes Van Zandt with Ledoux's own brand of rugged, homespun folksiness. Like all of Ledoux's records, HORSEPOWER feels as comfortable as a well-worn leather saddle; one listen will make even the most cynical music fans thank their lucky stars that Chris Ledoux is still out there keeping the Western dream alive.
