Background The songs from the album were originally recorded by Joey Ramone as demos with overdubs added later by his musician friends. The album was originally announced to contain 17 songs, but due to a last-minute glitch, two songs had to be cut.http://www.ramones.kauhajoki.fi/gigs/joeyramoneyaknow.html JOEY RAMONE'S SECOND SOLO ALBUM TITLED ...YA KNOW? Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone Blitzkrieg's Psycho Therapy Bop April 9, 2012 The songs in question were co-written by Joey and Dee Dee Ramone, but despite the intent of an equal financial split between the two, the manager of Dee Dee Ramone's business interests blocked the songs' inclusion on the album.https://www.reflectionsofdarkness.com/artists-k-o-interviews-87/11508-interview-mickey-leigh-joey-ramones-brother-may-2012 Interview: Mickey Leigh (Joey Ramone's Brother) - May 2012 Nosnibor Christopher Reflections of Darkness May 31, 2012 March 25, 2022 Two of the album's songs, "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)" and "Life's a Gas", are re-recordings of songs originally recorded by the Ramones. The ten-year gap between Don't Worry About Me and ...Ya Know? was due to legal wranglings between Joey Ramone's estate and Daniel Rey, who had originally recorded the demos with Joey Ramone. The album's liner notes included the statement: "This is stated in fairness to the producers: Joey's vocal tracks were taken from demos owned by Joey, but held in possession of Rey prior to and following Joey's passing, thus forcing the Estate of Joey Ramone to re-acquire them from Rey for all further production and release. Co-production credit has been given Rey in fulfillment of contractual obligations."https://www.discogs.com/release/3702077-Joey-Ramone-Ya-Know/image/SW1hZ2U6NDg1NzYyMTY= Joey Ramone – "...Ya Know?" liner notes Discogs March 25, 2022 Producer Ed Stasium, who worked on 11 of the album's 15 tracks, stated that he acquired the original demos in 2008. "Things were pretty basic," he said. "There was a drum machine, a guitar, a bass and Joey. The drum machine wasn't programmed or anything; it just made a beat. Some of the songs were fragmented, and some were arranged very well. That's what I had to work with ... I tried to add what I thought Joey was going for. I made solos where there weren't solos, intros where there weren't intros, endings where there weren't endings." A 7" single of "Rock 'n Roll Is the Answer" was released on April 21, 2012, for Record Store Day. The song was premiered on Spinner.com on April 6, 2012.http://www.spinner.com/2012/04/06/joey-ramone-rock-n-roll-is-the-answer-song-premiere Joey Ramone, 'Rock 'N Roll is the Answer' -- Song Premiere Theo Spielberg April 6, 2012 Spinner.com April 9, 2012 "New York City" music video On September 25, 2012, Vevo premiered a music video for "New York City" online.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WhlcwcznSo Joey Ramone - New York City YouTube 25 September 2012 October 5, 2012 The video, which was directed by Greg Jardin, features appearances by 115 people.http://www.gregjardin.com/#/film/new-york-city/ JOEY RAMONE New York City GregJardin.com October 5, 2012 People featured include:http://www.elmoremagazine.com/2012/09/music-news/new-video-premiere-for-joey-ramones-new-york-city New Video Premiere for Joey Ramone's "New York City" ElmoreMagazine.com 26 September 2012 October 5, 2012https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/joey-ramone-lives-on-in-new-york-city-20120925 Joey Ramone Lives on in 'New York City' RollingStone.com October 5, 2012 September 24, 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150924220301/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/joey-ramone-lives-on-in-new-york-city-20120925 dead Mickey Leigh Richie Ramone Tommy Ramone Ed Stasium Andy Shernoff Reggie Watts Kristen Schaal Scott Adsit John Lutz Andrew W.K.
