...Ya Know? is the second and final solo album by Joey Ramone. It was released posthumously on May 22, 2012.[11] The album features producers Ed Stasium, Jean Beauvoir,[12] Daniel Rey (all of whom worked with the Ramones), Joey's brother Mickey Leigh and Joe Blaney. Musicians include Joan Jett, Steven Van Zandt, Richie Ramone, Holly Beth Vincent, Genya Ravan, members of Cheap Trick and The Dictators and Mickey Leigh.[12]

The songs from the album were originally recorded by Joey as demos with overdubs added later by his musician friends.[12] The album was originally announced to contain 17 songs,[12] but due to a last minute glitch, two songs had to be cut.[13] Two of the 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.

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[14]
