Biography
Died March 9, 2005 // Casper, WY, United States
Band: Western Underground
Members: Mark Sissel (guitar), Bobby Jensen (keyboards), K.W. Turnbow (drums), Ned LeDoux (drums), Lyle Evans (bass), Dave Varnado (fiddle, mandolin, guitar)
Chris was born in Biloxi, Mississippi. Shortly after being born, his family moved to Austin, Texas. A few years later, the family moved again to Wyoming where he attended high school in Cheyenne and won the state’s bareback riding title twice.
Since 1971, he has recorded songs about real cowboys, and his albums combine his own experiences about rodeo life with old and new cowboy songs.
A large and dedicated group of followers formed on the rodeo circuit. This is when he made a name for himself with songs like “Lean, Mean and Hungry”, “Ten Seconds In The Saddle”, and “Caballo Diablo”. In 1976, he became the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association’s (PRCA) world champion in bareback riding.
In 1989, Garth Brooks gave Chris’s career a boost by mentioning his name in the hit, “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)”. Chris hit the Top 20 a year later with “Cadillac Ranch”, followed by successes Haywire, Stampede, and One Road Man. 20 Greatest Hits has 11 songs from his earlier albums.
He once described his music as a combination of western soul, sagebrush blues, cowboy folk, and rodeo rock ‘n’ roll.

I have heard that this man was a good man as I put some miles down across the country. I am in search of a song he did for one kid. Changed a few of the words around having it refer to Missouri Instead of Wyoming I believe. I am under the assumption he never recorded it in studio but sang it live. If anyone may know please if you have the song or know where I can get the recording even knowing the real title would be great. I do not remember much about the song all I know is he sang it, changed a old song of his a little, it was about a young kid riding, I just can not locate anything on this song. Thanks in advance if there is any assistance.
