Greenberg was a guitarist in DMZ, so that's why I am posting here. Although I am tempted to give Barrence his own thread even if few ilxors these days seem to know of him.

Saw Barrence Whitfield & the Savages again. They covered MC5’s “Ramblin Rose”, & Barrence wailed like a garage rock Smiley Lewis. DMZ guitarist Greenberg is still in the band.

I think Rambling Rose is a bit older than the MC5 I have a great version by Jerry Lee Lewis from the 50s. I think it was from before him too.

Actually it's a title used by several songs and the MC5 version is a different arrangement of the 1961 Jerry l;ee Lewis hit. His is more syncopated. I have it on a compilation with his 50s stuff. Worth hearing.

Found out earlier that the MC5 version seems to be based directly on the Ted Taylor soul cover
