He would sell his tapes at the rodeos and build a devoted fan base that would continue to support him over the course of his life. After releasing 22 albums on his own, he signed with Capitol Records when Garth Brooks name checked him in a hit song. Chris went on to release another 9 albums before losing his battle with liver cancer in 2005. The Ultimate Collection includes all of Chris LeDoux's biggest hits!
