Hear the MC5’s Last Two Original Members Kick Out the Jams on ‘Can’t Be Found’


Hear the MC5's "Can't Be Found" off their upcoming, posthumous album, 'Heavy Lifting.'

The record, Heavy Lifting, includes two songs that feature original MC5 drummer Dennis “Machine Gun” Thompson, who died in May, alongside guest appearances by Slash, Tom Morello, Living Colour’s Vernon Reid, and Don Was, among others. Can’t be found.” Reid plays a bluesy, jazzy, and pyrotechnical guitar solo in the middle of the song that hangs a squealing note on Kramer’s observation that “The grass isn’t greener if it’s all on fire.” A special two-CD edition of the album will include previously unreleased live recordings from the MC50 tour, which featured Kramer playing songs from the MC5’s Kick Out the Jams with members of Soundgarden, Fugazi, Faith No More, and Mudhoney.
