YOUR DISCO NEEDS YOU

Heyyyy Cowboyyyy!

Its really him!

We love you!

Youre sexxx-y, Cowboy!

so go the shoutouts from a gaggle of gals in a black jeep rolling down a New York City avenue. The cowboy waves and shouts a familiar Howdy ladies!

Squeals and giggles fade from the jeep as it makes its way down Broadway, melding into Manhattan.

The cowboy is Randy Jones, best known for playing that character in the seminal 70s disco group, Village People.

"And buy my new CD!

Lately the cowboys profile has been elevated due to appearances on VH-1s Best Week Ever, Logo, and E!, the re-release of the camp classic 'Cant Stop the Music' on DVD, regular appearances in newspapers and magazines, personal appearances (including the Trump Taj Mahal and the Kentucky Derby), and off-Broadway stints playing characters ranging from Cupid to (gulp!) God himself. Two new films in which the actor appears will also be released in 2007.

But closest to this cowboys heart is the release of his new full-length CD, TICKET TO THE WORLD.

"Im truly psyched about it. The work we've done with producer Frosty Lawson has exceeded my greatest expectations.

The CD is essentially a double-album, with one full-length album of pop greats, and one album of remixes by some of the hottest new remixers like Marcos Carnaval, FC Nond, and 2Fabu, as well as established superstars like Man Parrish.

TICKET TO THE WORLD is indeed destined to be a crowd-pleaser. The CD explodes into life with Your Disco Needs You, a track that has all the brashness, bravado, and camp of the classic Village People hits braced with the fervor of Broadway's Les Miz. Next up is a fresh interpretation of the Saturday Night Fever hit If I Cant Have You blending audacious disco horns with electronica elements delivering a purely modern arrangement.

The overall feel of the CD is fun. Its dance-friendly, says Jones. I did this CD for my fans and for myself.

Other tracks include the Monkees 60s hit Im a Believer at a pulse-pounding 165 beats per minute, concluding with a Hallelujah chorus worthy of a Sunday morning in church with Elvis himself. Rhinestone Cowboy is given a two-steppin' chicken-fried, Country-House feel, complete with fiddle and banjo. New York City Boy is in your face with the brash, hairy-chested treatment, complete with blazing NYC horns that the Pet Shop Boys version lacked.

Andrew Lloyd Webbers No Matter What (from Whistle Down the Wind) is imbued with the aura of a boy band...not unfamiliar territory for RJ. For Depeche Modes Freelove, RJ delivers a creamy jazz vocal in a ballad worthy of Sting, complete with Chris Botti-like horn solos. And Sleeping (a former Rick Astley hit) comes alive as a monumental epic in the near-ten minute remix by the 2Fabu team.

The other remixes range in styles from Tribal to Brazilian to classic and funky House to Electroclash. The legendary Man Parrish gives "New York City Boy" his pro genitor electro treatment and 2Fabu instills "If I Can't Have You" with a muscular funky-house feel.

Its a non-stop 78-minute party, with time to listen and dance. says Jones.

The CD is released by Pop Front Music and is currently available on iTunes (and forty other digital distribution services), at CDBaby.com, and at Amazon.com.
