What they are saying about RANDY JONES:
"Who, among all of the Village People, did you think might become a solo star? My choice was always Randy Jones."--Liz Smith, Syndicated Columnist "A WINNING "TICKET"! One of the most consistent things about Jones is his love for dance music, something that comes through loud and clear on his new album "Ticket to the World"...there has never been a more apropos album opener than "Your Disco Needs You."! --CHICAGO FREE PRESS "Exuberant- A wildly entertaining Performance!"- NEW YORK DAILY NEWS "In the case of original Village People cowboy RANDY JONES, he has a new CD of pop covers called 'Ticket to the World',.. he's not just alive but kicking." --VILLAGE VOICE “Randy Jones is ‘The Cowboy of All Media’!”—SYDNEY STAR OBSERVER "At NYC's hotspot, The Plumm for Rita Cosby's huge bash, guests were treated to a surprise performance by Village People's Randy Jones who brought down the house ! " -TIMESSQUAREGOSSIP.com "One of the best-loved performers of the modern music era"--NEWYORKCOOL.com "Perhaps the album's most touching moment is when Jones tackles "No Matter What" from Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's underrated 'Whistle Down the Wind'. Sung by a wise man, such lyrics as "no matter what they tell you...what you believe is true" bring on a whole new meaning and poignancy." --NEXT MAGAZINE "Original Village People Cowboy Randy Jones helped define a pop era, and he is back!"- BILLBOARD "I love disco and in particular the new album 'Ticket to the World' from Randy Jones, the original cowboy from the Village People." --PAPER MAGAZINE “The real treat of the evening was the appearance of Randy Jones, best known as the original Cowboy from the hit-making group Village People. The evening marked the major debut of Jones' new concert performance. Seen on film, television, and stage since his 1992 exit from the group with whom he made "Y.M.C.A.", “Macho Man” and "In The Navy" famous, Jones enjoyed a welcome return to prominence. In addition to singing a medley of his Number One hits, Randy also debuted his fresh new single release, "New York City Boy". How great it is to see Randy Jones back on stage, looking and sounding better than ever." The full standing ovation he received attested to his popularity amongst the crowd of more than five thousand disco mavens. Randy's still youthful and handsome looks, his dazzling smile, and his winning personality, made his presence one of the evening’s true high points.”--PEOPLE MAGAZINE "Still Ridin' High...Randy Jones Rocks On!"-SCENE MAGAZINE "Randy Jones: Kickin' ass and still a party in boots!..Disco icon Randy Jones may be best known as the original Village People cowboy, but he also has a successful acting career. After appearing in such off-Broadway hits as 'The Madonna Whore: Confessions of a Dirty Mind' and last year's 'Sodom: The Musical', Jones has a new CD, 'Ticket to the World', a straight-up dance album of handpicked pop and disco classics that reminds us why we love to dance in the first place." --HX MAGAZINE "Eclectic, diverse…the dance remixes are a real treat... This is the cowboy’s new frontier!" --TALENT IN MOTION MAGAZINE "Pop music’s favorite urban cowboy!" --PM ENTERTAINMENT "He's a legend, a Disco icon and one of the coolest cowboys in town...Randy Jones was cowboy before cowboy was cool." --NEXT MAGAZINE "Icon Randy Jones is back, riding high all over town. A ubiquitous figure -- not just on the party pages -- but on stage, on screen, and on TV -- it seems he can't stop getting gigs." --TIME OUT NEW YORK "Ticket to the World carries many diverse styles of cover tunes, but don't you dance floor divas worry as there is still a lot of boogie left in that cowboy. Check out the smoldering hot cuts New York City Boy, If I Can't Have You, the lounge-esque version of Depeche Mode's Freelove, and (naturally) his own take on Rhinestone Cowboy." --WETHEPEOPLE, gaysonoma.com "Randy Jones, the inimitable Cowboy from Village People, performs with charmingly over-the-top brilliance!" --THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE |
RANDY JONES
"One of the most
beloved entertainers and pop icons from the Disco era, multi-platinum
recording artist and American Music Award winner Randy Jones came to
embody The Cowboy in Village
People in a way that has captured the public imagination for
decades."-- NEW YORK POST
As renowned entertainment writer Liz Smith's choice of all the Village People to achieve individual fame, Randy Jones has been showered with commendations in his career, including the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARD, the GEORGIE AWARD (presented by the American Guild of Variety Artists), multiple BILLBOARD MAGAZINE DANCE FORUM AWARDS, the prestigious GOLDEN LION, Canada's JUNO, The Radio Television Luxembourg RTL DIAMOND AWARD, Germany's BRAVO AWARDS and the Holy Grail of Rock & Roll, the cover of ROLLINGSTONE MAGAZINE. "RJ" has sold in excess of 100 million units in his recording and film career. He is currently in NY filming "The Gentleman" for release in 2008 and has starred in the motion pictures "Three Long Years", "Beyond the Facade", "A Tale About Bootlegging" and "Can't Stop the Music", among others. In NYC he has starred in the plays, "The Madonna Whore: Confessions of a Dirty Mind", "Dido", "Patrick Manhattan" and the musicals "Bingo City" with Anita Gillette, "Sodom : The Musical", in which he played (gulp!) ‘God’. Among the many productions he has toured in are "Meet Me in St. Louis" with Cathy Rigby, "Carousel" with Ed Ames, "Funny Girl" with Carol Lawrence, "Barefoot in the Park", "Music Man", "Will Rogers’ Follies", "Chicago", and "42nd Street".
Lately the cowboy’s
profile has been elevated due to appearing as the Narrator of the
Award winning Documentary "When Ocean Meets Sky", and his
featured interviews in the filmed documentaries, "The Godfather
of Disco" and VH-1's
Rock Doc, "NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell". He is also
a favorite feature on VH-1’s
Best Week Ever, LogoTV, MTV and E!'s "True Hollywood
Story" as well as Harvey Levin's TMZ on
TV. His personal appearances run the gamut from Trump's Atlantic
City Taj
Mahal to the 2005 Presidential Inaugural Ball to
being a fixture at the annual Kentucky
Derby events, not to mention his ongoing 2007-2008 "TICKET
TO THE WORLD" international concert tour.
But closest to this
cowboy’s heart is the release of his new full-length CD, TICKET TO
THE WORLD. In his new eclectic pop collection, TICKET TO THE
WORLD, RJ reveals yet another dimension of his ability which may
surprise more than a few people. With wide-ranging material by some of
the pop greats, including Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jim Steinman, Depeche
Mode, Robbie
Williams & Kylie
Minogue, Pet
Shop Boys, Neil
Diamond and a gem by the Bee
Gees, he reinvents a set of pop classics in a smooth, sexy
style.
TICKET TO THE WORLD is
available everywhere. Downloads available at iTunes
and all music download services worldwide.
