Tony Haselden, who succeeded as both a rock artist and a country songwriter, died last Friday (May 16) in Louisiana at age 79.
Haselden was in the cult-favorite rock band LeRoux and wrote the group’s biggest hit, 1982’s “Nobody Said It Was Easy.” LeRoux was founded in Baton Rouge and was active in 1977-85. Haselden then became a hit country songwriter in Nashville with dozens of cuts and five top 10 hits on his resume.
He wrote or co-wrote Shenandoah’s “Mama Knows” (1988), Keith Whitley’s “It Ain’t Nothin’” (1990), George Strait’s “You Know Me Better Than That” (1991), Michelle Wright’s “Take It Like a Man” (1992) and Collin Raye’s “That’s My Story” (1994), among dozens of other country favorites. More than 40 Nashville artists recorded his works.
Tony Haselden was born in South Carolina, but moved to Louisiana as a teenager. During his four-year service in the Navy, he taught himself to play guitar. Following his discharge, he earned a college degree.
He co-founded LeRoux in 1977. Originally named Louisiana’s LeRoux, the band recorded five albums during its heyday. It initially signed with Capitol, but found greater success after it shortened its billing and signed with RCA. Its 1982 LP Last Safe Place contained the group’s rock-chart success “Addicted,” as well as Haselden’s “Nobody Said It Was Easy.” Other LeRoux fan favorites included “New Orleans Lady,” “Take a Ride on a Riverboat” and “Carrie’s Gone.”
The band’s national TV appearances included Solid Gold, The Midnight Special and Don Kirchner’s Rock Concert. During its eight years of national touring, the band shared stages with the Allman Brothers, Journey, Kansas, Heart, the Doobie Brothers, Foreigner, ZZ Top and The Charlie Daniels Band, among others. It also contributed instrumentally to albums by Tab Benoit, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown and The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
When LeRoux split up, Haselden made his way to Nashville. His country songwriting career took off when Shenandoah scored with “Mama Knows.” In 1990, Sweethearts of the Rodeo had a mid-sized hit with “This Heart,” which was revived and charted again for Jon Randall in 1994. The Whitley and Strait No. 1 hits with Haselden songs occurred in 1990-91. They were followed by Shelby Lynne’s version of “Don’t Cross Your Heart” and Martina McBride’s single of “That’s Me” in 1991-92.
Haselden’s streak with female vocalists continued with the Michelle Wright hit in 1992, plus Shania Twain’s career-launching “What Made You Say That” in 1993. Collin Raye scored with “That’s My Story” the following year. Also charting with Haselden songs were Billy Ray Cyrus (1995’s “Fastest Horse in a One-Horse Town”), Reba McEntire (2006’s “Love Needs a Holiday”) and Kid Rock (2017’s “Po-Dunk”).
The songwriter’s “Music Is What I See” was introduced by Mike Dekle, but achieved more prominence as the title tune of Rhonda Vincent’s 2021 bluegrass album. Several of Haselden’s titles were recorded by Tim Mensy, who was his frequent songwriting collaborator. The rock bands Uriah Keep and Bobby & The Midnites both recorded Haselden’s “Lifeline.”
During his Nashville career, Haselden’s songs were embraced by such top country artists as Toby Keith, Glen Campbell, Conway Twitty, Barbara Mandrell, The Statler Brothers, Patty Loveless, Tracy Lawrence and Janie Fricke. Among the many who recorded his works were also Rodney Atkins, Pam Tillis, Marie Osmond, Billy Dean, Doug Stone, Highway 101, Rick Trevino, Joe Nichols, Suzy Bogguss, Mark Wills, The Forester Sisters and Gary Puckett. Haselden also became a Nashville record producer. He worked in the studio crafting tracks for The Kinleys, The Wilkinsons and Georgia Middleman.
A greatest-hits album, 1996’s Bayou Degradable: The Best of Louisiana’s LeRoux, inspired Haselden and LeRoux to regroup and return to performing. In 1997, the band filmed a special for Louisiana Public Broadcasting. It also resumed recording.
Tony Haselden and his family left Nashville and returned to Louisiana in 2008. Two years later, he was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
He is survived by Julia, his wife of more than 50 years, and by his daughter Casey and three grandchildren. Funeral arrangements were trusted to Ordoyne Funeral Home, 1489 Saint Patrick Street Thibodaux, LA 70301. A memorial service will be scheduled for a later date.

Cyndi Thomson’s Quiet Season Reaps ‘Acres Of Diamonds’
/by Lorie HollabaughCyndi Thomson has released her new EP Acres of Diamonds, today (May 23), more than two decades after the release of her breakout radio hit “What I Really Meant To Say.”
The six-track EP includes previously-released tunes like the title track, and most recent single “Five More Minutes,” which showcases the longing to return and relive the moments that meant the most. The project also includes focus track “Black Celica,” co-written by and featuring Ashley Monroe.
“Acres of Diamonds is the harvest of a quiet season—a reminder that even in stillness, something precious is growing,” says Thomson. “After time away, returning to music feels like unearthing light beneath familiar soil. Each track is a jewel, shaped by the hands of incredible writers and producers. I’m deeply proud of this journey, and endlessly grateful for the brilliance that brought it to life.”
In 2001, Thomson rose to fame with the Gold album My World and chart-toppers like “What I Really Meant To Say,” “I’m Gone,” “I Always Liked That Best” and “If You Were Mine.” Despite stepping away from the spotlight, she remained an influential figure in music, penning hits like Gary Allan’s “Life Ain’t Always Beautiful.”
“I realized one day – I can’t expect my kids to chase their dreams if they don’t see me chasing mine,” shares Thomson. “Leaving music wasn’t about the death of a dream. It was about self-preservation, and making sure what was most important in life came first. However, that fire, that passion inside of me for music never left. I’m just better equipped to satisfy it now than I was in 2001.”
Acres of Diamonds Track List:
1. “Acres of Diamonds” (Cyndi Thomson, Dan Wilson, Jessica Roadcap)
2. “Black Celica” (feat. Ashley Monroe) (Cyndi Thomson, Ashley Monroe, Mikey Reaves)
3. “Five More Minutes” (Cyndi Thomson, Steven Solomon, Lindsay Boreing, Will Boreing)
