Audiences have been laughing with Kacey Jones for decades and laughing right along with them are People Magazine, USA Today, GAC & CMT Television, and Garrison Keillor and "A Prairie Home Companion." "Donald Trump's Hair," is the hilarious follow-up to her previous album, "Nipples to the Wind" and contains fifteen tracks including "Christmas in Rehab," "I Can Always Get Skinny But You'll Never Be Tall," and "Whatever Happened to Kenny Rogers Face."

"I'm a singer-songwriter-musician first," says Jones, "I enjoy making people laugh in the tradition of musical humorists such as Tom Lehrer, Mae West, Roger Miller, Kinky Friedman, Dan Hicks, Jerry Reed, and Sophie Tucker." I also enjoy a good ballad...that's why I recorded a tribute to Mickey Newbury." ("Kacey Jones Sings Mickey Newbury" IGO Records, 2006). Jones' interpretation of Newbury's beautiful, melancholy songs achieved critical acclaim worldwide. She even enlisted Newbury's close friend, Kris Kristofferson, to play a cameo role in her music video,"San Francisco Mabel Joy."
