The “Bio” page on LeDoux’s website shares his pride in his upcoming album and that much of it is inspired by the people who are important to him. In various songs, LeDoux pays tribute to his grandfather Bud Rhoads, his brother Beau, and his father. (5)
The page quotes LeDoux discussing the music he writes. “I’m proud to carry on the tradition and a lot of songs that I write are going to relate with songs that my dad wrote and recorded because I lived the same life,” LeDoux said. “I was born and raised on a ranch, which my family still owns outside of Kaycee, Wyoming. That was my life and it’s reflected in the songs I write. I just think back to those days working on a ranch and hanging out with my granddad, who taught me how to drive a tractor, work cows and everything that is associated with ranching, but music has always been my dream.”
