The second posthumous solo album from Joey Ramone, titled ‘Ya Know?‘ will be released locally on Friday June 8th. The tracks were drawn from a cache of demos and unreleased recordings that Joey had a cut at various times during the last decade and half of his life. The cast of guest players includes Joan Jett, who lends her distinctive voice and guitar to “21st Century Girl” and Little Steven Van Zandt, who plays guitar on “Party Line” and wrote the album’s poignant liner notes, along with such notables as former Ramones drummer Richie Ramone, Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, Dennis Diken of the Smithereens, Richie Vincent, seasoned New York punk axeman Al Maddy, veteran pop producer/musician Kenny Laguna, saxophonist Arno Hecht of the Uptown Horns, and members of the Ramones’ punk-era contemporaries The Dictators.
