Baby, I Love You

Ramones

“Baby, I Love You” by the Ramones

In hindsight, Phil Spector was the wrong man to make a Ramones album.  His painstakingly lush production ran counter to the Ramones’ seat-of-the-pants propulsion.  And it didn’t help that Spector was fucking crazy.  There’s rumors he pulled a gun and held the band hostage at his house, rumors it’d be easier to dismiss if he hadn’t pulled that kind of shit a dozen times before.  He’s currently in prison for shooting some poor woman in the head.

But: He loved Joey Ramone’s voice.  Joey, who grew up listening to Spector’s old Pop records.  Something clicked.  Spector brought in his trusted sessions musicians, and Joey covered “Baby, I Love You” by The Ronettes.  If you’re expecting a Ramones song, you’ll be sorely disappointed.  But I think you’ll be pleased if you hear this for what it is: Joey Ramone’s first solo work.
