Wayne Kramer is known for his incendiary guitar work in the late '60s with Detroit's legendary MC5. A rocking, politically minded musician who spent time in jail and once shared a house with the Stooges, Kramer is a canny survivor who has engaged in more than three decades of punk-inspired fret shredding. Live Like a Motherfucker is a powerful live album illuminating the guitarist's work from his last three solo albums. Supported by Doug Linn on bass and Ric Parnell on drums, Kramer crashes and burns through an exciting set featuring quasi-bohemian blue-collar editorials laced with punk-metal guitar heroics. Whether singing about the late Charles Bukowski or reviving the MC5's classic anthem "Kick Out the Jams," Kramer is an American artist who mustn't be forgotten. --Mitch Meyers

Where once [Wayne Kramer's] guitar licks stung with revolutionary zeal, they now stutter with echoes of his own history. He's telling stories that we've heard before, straining against forces that would deem him obsolete.
