Don't Worry About Me is the first album released by Joey Ramone as a solo artist.[7][8] It was released posthumously on February 19, 2002, by Sanctuary Records,[9] less than a year after his death. The album was produced by Daniel Rey, who also did most of the guitar work.[5] Rey had previously produced three of the Ramones' albums, between 1987 and 1995.
The album includes two covers: "What a Wonderful World," originally performed by Louis Armstrong, and "1969," originally performed by the Stooges.[10] "What a Wonderful World" was used for the ending credits of Michael Moore's film Bowling for Columbine.[citation needed] It also appeared on the soundtrack to Freaky Friday.
A DualDisc version of the album was released on November 19, 2002. It included the album in the DVD-Audio format, which is in 5.1 surround sound, as well as the music video for "What a Wonderful World" (directed by Debbie Harry) and other material.
Don't Worry About Me peaked at #109 on the Billboard 200.[11]
