Ned LeDoux’s life has been scarred by tragedy, and when faced with unimaginable losses, the singer-songwriter was presented with a choice: either drown in the sorrow, or turn these lives gone too soon into music, into song-like statues of the people he misses most. LeDoux, who has been releasing solo music since 2017 but has been a touring musician since his teenage years, has always opted for the latter. It’s what has made the songwriter and son of country legend Chris LeDoux such a worthy heir apparent as a renegade, heartfelt crooner.

His first full-length, 2017’s Sagebrush, includes “Forever A Cowboy,” an instant classic addition to the outlaw canon which quickly became a fan favorite and a staple at his shows — of which he performs at least 200 every year. On his most recent album, Buckskin, LeDoux embraced a rollicking, freewheeling sound, a pummeling response to the hand he’d been dealt, which included tragically having to bury his beloved daughter Haven, who died at the age of two in 2019. It’s this history, filled with loss — his pops died in 2005 at the all-too-young age of 56 — that informs LeDoux’s work. But in his latest album, touchingly titled Safe Haven, he uses the memories of those he has lost to help him carry on with joy, celebration, and a faith that they are guiding his work.

Though Ned LeDoux has been in the music world since he was a teenager, he’s been writing and recording his own songs for less than a decade. As such, Safe Haven and “One Hand in the Riggin’” in particular are, by his estimation, far and away the artistic statements he’s always wanted to make. “My songwriting maturity is more confident than it’s ever been before,” he explains before adding that his fans will still recognize some of his signature style. “There’s also some stuff on here that relates very well with what I’ve done already, because it’s familiar and comfortable.” Safe Haven is an intoxicating blend of risk-taking, bold songwriting, and songs that find LeDoux in his familiar, comfortable territory. Both sides of the coin are equally worthy pursuits, one a reminder of where he’s been, and one an assurance that the path forward is still worth exploring.
