The Sound Lab Interview with Richie Ramone

 

New Richie Ramone Album Live To Tell Out Now

AVAILABLE NOW!! Live To Tell is the culmination of everything Richie Ramone is about as an artist and as a person. Musically, every tune is 'A Side' quality! Lyrically, it's deep, real, sometimes humorous but above all, self-reflecting and very dark. By his admission he's finally gotten it right... this is the album he's been trying to make since boldly walking away from The Ramones in 1987!
