On February 10, 2015, it was reported that the New York Giants were signing Jones. It was made official when the Giants announced the signing on February 11, 2015. On September 5, 2015, Jones' season came to an end when he was officially placed on injured reserve by the Giants.
Brett Jones is an American singer, ASCAP songwriter, and music publisher from Warm Springs, Georgia, United States. He is a notable figure in country music that has had over one hundred songs recorded, fourteen top ten hits, and five number one hits.
Jones signed a publishing deal with a company owned by country music singer Ronnie Milsap. His first top twenty hit came in 1995 with Confederate Railroad’s “When and Where.” He owns Crazytown Productions/Big Borassa Music, in which he looks over many of his own catalogs such as Big Borassa Music, Jonesbone Music, and Brett Jones Music. As of 2012, his catalogs and himself as an artist were signed to ole, a rights management company. Jones, as an artist, also released his own CD called Life’s Road in 2009 and followed with Cowboy Sailor in July 2014.
As a junior, Jones was a cricketer who captained Western Australia at the Under-19 National Championships in 2000. A batsman, Jones was then drafted to the Western Warriors squad, where he represented the 2nd XI. He never made his first-class debut, and focused on Australian rules instead.
Football career
Brett was drafted pick 9 in the 2003 rookie draft after impressing as a medium height defender for Claremont in the WAFL.

Fourteen top 10’s and seven #1’s to date. Over 300 songs recorded as a writer and multiple albums as an artist in his own right. In the words cited by Billy Currington in his #1 smash, “that’s how country boys roll.” Or rather, in the words of songwriter Brett Jones. In fact, Currington falls into the same category as Jason Aldean, Montgomery Gentry, Neal McCoy, Tracy Lawrence, Reba McEntire, Lee Ann Womack and many more who have all recorded Jones’ songs thru the decades. Fortunately for Nashville, ...

Cowboy Thinker, Will Rogers, Brett Jones, Tydus Alley, Nashville Demo
Please see the lyrics posted below. Written by Nashville based songwriters Brett Jones & the late Tydus Alley in the early 1990's - the song Cowboy Thinker and this video are a tribute to the unforgetable American icon, Will Rogers.
For the YouTube audience to be able hear this rough demo of Cowboy Thinker, is a rare glimpse into what a guitar/vocal music publisher's demo sounded like, out of Nashville in the early 1990's.
There was no over produced demo, because the song was not deemed worthy at the time, by my co-publisher, of a full blown demo with added instrumentation and backup vocals.
However, being Tydus Alley's publisher at the time, I plugged this song hoping to get it cut or used in a movie about Will Rogers with no success to date.
Not having success with my song ...

Fourteen top 10’s and seven #1’s to date. Over 300 songs recorded as a writer and multiple albums as an artist in his own right. In the words cited by Billy Currington in his #1 smash, “that’s how country boys roll.” Or rather, in the words of songwriter Brett Jones. In fact, Currington falls into the same category as Jason Aldean, Montgomery Gentry, Neal McCoy, Tracy Lawrence, Reba McEntire, Lee Ann Womack and many more who have all recorded Jones’ songs thru the decades. Fortunately for Nashville, the Warm Springs, Georgia native traded in farm life for Music Row 28 years ago. After Ronnie Milsap signed Jones to his first publishing deal, he had his first top 20 in 1995 with Confederate Railroad’s “When and Where”. More hits followed with “Better Man, Better Off” for Tracy Lawrence in 1997, “Cover You in Kisses” by John Michael Montgomery, and “Little Past Little Rock” for Lee Ann Womack in 1998. The following year, Andy Griggs made a name for himself with Jones’ “You Won’t Ever Be Lonely” as the first artist in 20 years to have his debut single reach #1. The Georgia native was on top of the country music charts in the late 1990s. But by 2000, he did what most would never do. He sailed away—literally—on his sailboat to the islands.
Luckily for country fans, after a half decade pilgrimage in the Keys, Jones returned to Music City with newly discovered purpose and son #5 on the way. The self-proclaimed walking contradiction went on to pin more hit songs like Bobby Pinson’s “Don’t Ask Me How I Know (2005), Montgomery Gentry’s “What Do You Think About That” (2007), Billy Currington’s “That’s How Country Boys Roll” (2009), Jason Aldean’s “Crazy Town” (2010) and Justin Moore’s “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” (2011), written for his brother who died in Vietnam. With 150 major label recordings overall, Jones has recently achieved rare status in country music by having number one records in each of the past three decades.
