While working on his 2025 album “Safe Haven” with producer Mac McAnally, country performer Ned LeDoux got word about another project in need of his vocals, a remake of the 1980s country hit by the late Dan Seals, “God Must Be a Cowboy.” The staple country tune had been in LeDoux’s family for some time. His father, the late country artist Chris LeDoux, recorded the Seals track for his 1984 album, “Melodies and Memories.” Decades later, it was time for his son to carry on the tune’s legacy.
He was surprised when his manager called to tell him he’d be singing on the track alongside Seals’s previously recorded vocals. But with a warmed-up voice and a personal connection to the tune, he shifted gears in the studio and laid down vocals for what would become a powerful duet connecting generations of country music.
