Finally!!! You can now order my REAL CD directly from my website. I had it professionally pressed by a manufacturing company in a Digipack case (a step up from the average jewel case a CD normally comes in. If you happen to buy 2 or more CD's, I'll personally sign them.
Just an FYI: you don't need a PayPal account to order the CD - PayPal will allow you to use a credit card.
For downloads (not the physical CD), you can check out my Instant Download Store or iTunes.
If you buy 2 or more physical CD's, I will unwrap the plastic and sign them
Awesome man, I've just recently found you through Simmons and your stuff is ridiculous. I just bought a new drop-top and I'm gonna crank your CD up all over town.
It's sick man... sick. Take care Ronald and keep making CDs! (especially hip hop!)
Ordered my copy Ronald....booya!
Ordered my copy!!!!
I hope I made the first 100; I've got to have a signed copy.
aaaand im ordered. cant wait to get this cd man, your work is beyond excellent.
I got two...one to play, and one to keep as an investment for when you are huge!!!
Just popping in to say thanks for the comments, folks! I really appreciate them.
Hooray! I can't wait for it to get here. I think I got in on the signed copies, too.
The first 100 are autographed? I'll take the first 100 then if it isn't too late. This is going to eventually be the greatest selling album of all time, and in a few short years will itself sell more copies than every other album ever released sold added together. It's that good, and the only thing holding back this virtual plethora of Ronald Jenkees playing the hits as only he can is the fact that he doesn't have the publicity machine that other artists have. He's got You Tube and he's got Bill Simmons, and just with that he's a phenomenon. When the rest of the world catches on, they'll have to make up another word for him, because phenomenon will be too trite and small for his position in the artistic world of merit.
I've bought the mp3's online and they're bloody good. I just have 2 requests. A version of "Aint no thang" without lyrics (I'm not a rap fan but the music is bloody good!). And please take the "clap" noise out of "Remix to a Remix" (or lower the volume of it) 'cause it gives me a headache when I listen to it loud (which I do a lot).
I hope you've had plenty of buyers and continue to get more, I love it.
Hey guys, trying to drive even more possible listeners this way, posted the news of the release on digg, lets get him to the front page!

Im buying it! As soon as I can get some money on pay pal. I MUST HAVE!
I bought this monster CD and Im estatic to listen to those beats when it hits my front doorstep, haha, for the longest time I just listened to the little samples by clicking the little blue buttons over and over =P
Love the music man, keep it up =D

Ronald, just flipping through the CD...awesome man, real pleasure to listen to. Keep it up.
Any chance we get some music videos?
I got the cd in the mail yesterday. I haven't stopped listening to it; I love it!
Just bought mine with my Birthday money!

I got my CD today, and I love it. Nice job, Ronald. I'm looking forward to whatever you do next.
just gave me and my mom the cd. We love it. Thanks so much. It is something I can just listen to or use as background noise while I am doing homework this year. You did a great job. My friends really enjoy it too. Thanks again.
yo, ronald. love your music man!! like a lot of people, i'm an avid bill simmons fan. i'm so glad he found out about you and tuned all his fans into your videos and music.
i just ordered a real cd from you and the tag said it should be a signed version - hope that's still true. way to keep it real and don't stop bangin out the wicked beats!!
peace out!!
Got my CD today and I'm enjoying it. Thanks, Ronald, for sharing your music with us. When does the second CD ship out?
Just ordered today! I hope a lot of people are buying it too!
This CD is a magnificent masterpiece that is changing the world around us. I have seen fighting cease and the hungry fed. Now keep composing this music that brings rain to the crops and shade for the scorched.
Hey Ronarld!
I am a guitarist in an instrumental progressive rock band and have really enjoyed your playing style. Especially the "Cannon in D" surprised me because I know that it is not an easy job for a non-guitarist to sound like a "real guitarist" and you did it! Of course it demands a deep sonic study on structure of each separate instrument in order to figure out its "movements" on the keyboard...
Anyway. I eager to know about your mixing software. I have always used Sonar/Reason. But your software mixing console on YouTube video was something totally new to me! (It was good looking!!) What is that?
Salim
I'd really like the rocky remix on vinyl. Any plans of pressing some singles or the whole lp on wax?
DOPE beats btw. You like Timbaland, but seriously he ain't got s*** on you!
I'm loving the cd, it's amazing. I know that it must feel very satisfying to see your creativity and hard work realized.
One question: any reason why Cathode Ray didn't make it on? I'd appreciate a response if you've got the time.
Thanks again Ronald!
Ronald, I just downloaded the CD man. Wow. You must have put a lot of work into this, and I think it is really good. It exceeded my already very high expectations. Keep it up man, you are a genius.
Wow, first CD I've ever actually bought for myself and I'm 23. That's about the best compliment I've ever given a musician, money talks.
First impression was: a goofy vblogger, is this really the right guy? But when you hit those first piano-keys I was simply blown away by your obvious musical talent.
Your work and sheer joy for music is inspiring, looking forward to my (hopefully autographed) CD.
Hey
I got your cd in last week......Heck Ya! Love it. Hey by the way I got some of my co-workers runing around work saying Who wants to play balderdash! I love it! How the heck do ya play balderdash anyway??? Feel free to respond if you want to my E-Mail address. My wife and kids love your jams. Mabe someday ill have some of my guitar playing on youtube! That is when i get back what ive lost from not playing much. Well keep on keeping it real. Again love the CD!!!!!!
Virgil B.
Ron! I just recieved your physical CD yesterday! I've been watching you on Youtube for months and had listened to the mp3 preview of your album here.. None of that had really prepared me for how good your album is! I love every song! I must say that it was really cool to feel your signature on the cover, I could feel where the pen had pressed into the paper, it wasn't preprinted. It felt cool to know that I was holding an album that, just a few days prior, a star, you, had been too. Keep up the awesome work, Ron!
Rock on and have fun,
Jason P.
P.S. I had an idea while I was sitting here listening to your album for the 3rd time since I got it. Maybe for your 2nd album release you could create a DVD with some high quality videos of you playing all the songs. I love watching you play almost as much as I love your music. This idea came to me as I listened to the Canon in D remix and could picture you rockin' that keyboard. Anyways, rock on dude!
Just got my copy via the postman!
AMAZING, plus I love the case!
/me looks forward to Ronalds 2nd album!
Oh forgot to mention - I got a signed one!
Worth thousands in a few years me thinks!
This is one of my favorite CDs of all-time. No joke. Ronald, I just realized that seeing you live in concert would be the coolest thing ever. We need to make this happen.
Dear Mr. Jenkees,
I just ordered your CD...hope this is for real! The Canon in D is awesome! So are some of your 'jamming solos'...you should do more of those...and make them longer, too. Ya know, change it up a lil' bit...? A bridge here or there, maybe.
Anywho, you're the musician, not me! Well, here is the website with the video I was talking about (in my order) that led me to find your videos online...give it a whirl, should you feel inclined

Thanks, and many blessings!
Joel
P.S. Are you religious at all? Curious...(unsure, between seeing your videos on both YouTube and previously mentioned 'GodTube') Also, sorry to take up so much of your blog space! K - enough. Peace.
I just got your CD in the mail. It's awesome; music, production, packaging, everything. I hope you make it big. It would be even greater if you could make it big AND be independent.
hey just wondering if you'd ever want to collaborate your beats with a hip hop artist. I'd be VERY interested in the possibilities.
Dear Mr. Jenkees,
Finally got a chance to listen to your album...was on vacay went it arrived. It's really sumpin'...thanx so much for the signed copy, too.
Oh yeah, can't stop listening to "Loui"! Evokes lots of emotion...good stuff.
Peace,
Joel
Sup Ronaldo,
You make some killer beats yo. I was lookin' at the motif xs8 to purchase, but it's a pretty penny. I was wondering how much you got yours for?
Hi Ronald.
Just bought your new CD and i must say it`s really makes me happy listning to your cd, many thanks. I specially like number 9 Loui, GREAT track.
Wish you the best in life :-))
Regards
Your friend Frank

what it do!
the cd goes OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! It aint no thing !
THanks Ron. You've brought happiness to many folks.
-The Lawdog
Wow, I'm an instant fan. that beat was sooooo sick...lol! I wanna buy a couple beats from you for my demo.
I sent you a message with details so please check it. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks

Hey, Ronald. I have been watching your jams on YouTube and bought the CD today. Very nice! Keep it up. The jams are sweet!
Cocoa
Hey Ronald,
I am a new fan, I caught up with you on You Tube. I was like "who is this guy. Because there is so many music making videos online. Anyway, the first video I watched of you I was like "wow!" I just wanted to say "what's up" and throw some support your way. Your music is an incredible and not only that, your YouTube videos are super fun to watch. Thank you for the good quality.
Hey Ron,
Have you ever thought about laying out a track geared specifically for runners in mind? I know that Nike did a huge ad campaign with the Nike running gear, even to the point of getting guys like the Crystal Method, OK GO, and Aesop's Rock to produce an hour long instrumental with a pace, and beat a runner can be driven by and not find it boring.
You would be great at this! And as a runner, i am always looking for music that drives me.
let me know what you think....
Dude, you got BOINGed. Congratulations.
Never heard your stuff before but man, WOW. You are my one and only subscription at YouTube now. Amazine.
Ronald! Way to go. You are a musical super hero, like a beat-making Batman.
as a pianist for 22 years - i must say that your improv style is very much like mine, where you combine meandering whimsy with metal-ish solo leads all wrapped in a bluesy twang flavor --- here is a quick example mp3 if you are interested

Hi Ronald, I just wanted to say you have great musical talent, i partically enjoyed your rocky remix it was amazing 10/10!
anyway i just wanted to let you know u seem like a really nice guy so good look with your new cd and everything, and i hope you have a great life ahead! and if you have any problems you want to talk about please go to my site http://www.wrestlingfactory.piczo.com and send in a message. hope you get this message.
hey Ronald!
I'm in my senior year at Ringling College of Art and Design. This year, we devote all of our waking hours to producing a 2 minute Computer Animation. I'm wondering if I can hire you to collaborate with me and churn out some music?? I can't stop listening to your stuff!!
email me if you like, I can tell u what it's all about, or check out http://www.ringling.edu to see some of our student work!!
Thanks man and don't stop rocking!!
nice work. just downloaded your mp3s with my '56K modem speed'.
i hope i'm doing a little better than that...
Hey man. Just watched all your videos over on youtube. Your beats are sick. Love it. I've been wrangling with paypal for the last half hour. It hates me and won't let me order, but I swear I will get it to work. I needs me that cd...
Man, do I ever love your music....
I discovered you on YouTube today, and spent a couple of hours listening to some of the most original & creative stuff I've heard in years....
I ordered the CD as soon as I discovered that there was a CD to order.
Awesome, man....
Just awesome.
Please keep on making music, my friend. Because I am here to tell you that as long as you keep making it, I will certainly be buying it.
Much respect.
Ronald- Your CD is excellent. Remember to stay as real as you are forever, because when you appear on David Letterman (and you will...) to jam with Paul, I wanna see the real Jenkees- not some prepped and watered-down version. Hold onto those same white-hot licks and total grokkin' style you have been laying down in your videos. Remember, always keep it real, because once you hit the big time, it will be difficult.
U ROCK Man i'm from holland and i order your digital CD there are some Rock-ass numbers on it. i cant wait for album number 2 man. Thanks for making suchs a awesome CD hope u will continue with it. I will support ya and so does everybody else who are listening to you. Much Love from Holland and keep it up.
bye
Hey RJ! Love your stuff. Keep it up.
Just bought your album, can't wait for it to get here.
My husband does similar (but way different) at home music. I haven't posted any of his work yet (though it's absolutely fantastic) but seeing how much fun you're having, I think I will post my husbands' stuff.
Take Care,
Love from Canada,
Charity
Ronald, I love your stuff so much!!!!!!I can listen over and over again. The day I found your Youtube page, I was way late to work. I had to force myself out of my chair.
I am also a runner and your jams are pure adrenaline. I feel like I could go forever.
Keep it up man. Just listening to your music makes you feel like a friend to me
And now that the money trucks will be showing up, I hope you buy the sweetest setup you can imagine.
OH, and new speakers for your car!
My girlfriend and I got your cds today. Real fast shipping! Thanks for signing them! Every track on there sounds great. I can't wait for CD #2!
Just bought your album online. You are my new musical hero. Your stuff isn't just off the chain, there never was a chain! You're OEM Wi-Fi right out the box!
You're awesome and I'm telling!
G'day Ronald,
A mate sent me ya link of you jammin'
and I bought your cd online straight away.
And best of all it arrived in the mail today !!
(I haven't stopped playing it since)
Make sure you come and play a gig in
Brisbane, Australia when you make it big and famous
(which I'm sure isn't too far away mate)
Looking forward to the next CD!
Dave.
Hey Ronald! My boyfriend ordered a couple of CDs for us. I have to say, I'm seriously impressed, you're SO talented. I don't follow a lot of artists, and I definately don't wait on hand and knee for new CDs, but I'm really looking forward to your next CD. I can't remember a time when I was more enthusiastic about a CD release. My favorite track on the current CD is #9, Loui. I got to school, and skipped my first class just to listen to the CD in my car for a bit longer.
Keep doing what you're doing, you're completely awesome!
Totally ordered your CD and it arrived yesterday here in Malaysia, I been listening to it all day.
AWESOME MAN.
Will blog about it soon and spread the love
Been listening to you for about a month now. GREAT TUNES! I'm truly impressed. Not that you need the help or traffic I'm sure, but I recently posted an article with some of your YouTube video on my website.
http://natebal.com/journal/?p=1031
Do you maintain your own blog? Just curious. Keep up the great work!
-Peace Out
Ron -- any chance I can use some of your music in a video podcast I'm going to be starting? Drop me an email for more details!
Just got my CD in the mail (OCT 1) . Amazing job can’t wait for the second CD to come out.
Ronald,
I really dig your stuff man. Is there any way you might consider performing live. I book bands at a bar in Texas and am really interested in booking you. Just hit me back with an email whenever you get the chance. Peace.
Damn man, I just found your site through a link from YouTube.
I've been missing out!
Unbelievable stuff, had to download the whole album after hearing just one of the tracks (Canon In D Remix) and I'm happy to say I'm in no way dissapointed.
Awesome work mate, huge respect coming from all the way across the pond in the UK.
Keep producing music of this quality and you're only gonna keep going up in the world.
I'll be watching for more releases!
- V
I hope that's in Austin Texas Adam!
I can't wait to hear you live one day Ronald! CD is still going strong on the iPod!!
Awesome man, I wish you the Best, Go for it, you have talent ;D
Ronald,
I'm leaving your website and YouTube pages up on my home computer, hoping that my wife will be able to figure it out that I want one of your cd's (or two, one for listening and the other for safe keeping).
Love your beats, originality and your passion to play awesome music. I saw a couple of posts about people running to your music. It definitely gets the adrenaline going, and it's not bad to rockclimb to either.
Keep up the great work,
Eugene
Hey Ronald, You're a musical genius brah' don't let anyone tell you different!!!
What will it take to get you to produce some music for some melodies i've written---I'm looking to puttogether a demo and man i't'd be adream come true to have your gifted ear and creativity on my album.
I'm dead serious either e-mail or call me 956-372-4788 please!
Thanks don't stop rockin'
Juan
ronald, i found you on youtube, as someone who plays the piano and loves to mess around i just want to say that youve got something amazing going for you, keep on rockin dude, keep on rockin
dude your incredible. i cant believe ur making these all by urself. even i kno how hard this stuff is. i make my own beats just like u and crazy enough i use fruity loops studio too. i love it and i love your music. ur my idle lol. love ya man. keep up the good shit. i got my eye on you. ur site is bookmarked. LOVE IT!!!!
Just wanted to let you know that your CD is ridiculously good. I had to buy two to give one to a friend (and so I could get the coveted autograph!!! Thanks for that by the way!). I'm a fan of all the tracks, but "Neptune" takes the cake in my opinion. I listen to it nearly every night before going to bed. I'm way into instrumental stuff, and it's one of the best songs I've ever heard.
I'm very much looking forward to your next cd. As soon as it's available I'll be ordering it. No need to rush though, take your time and make it exactly how you want it.
Ronald, thank you for doing what you love to do most, making awesome music. I have been listening to your album multiple times daily since I received it last week. It makes me smile every time I hear it. Your attitude towards music and life in general gives me hope that there are still good people in this world. I wish you the best of luck in where ever you allow your talent and attitude to take you.
The digipac case was a good choice! I prefer all cd's that come in them.
