Closer to Home

Grand Funk Railroad

Heavy, fuzzed-out blues rock that balances blue-collar grit with a surprising, ten-minute nautical epic. The definitive sound of 1970 American power-trio muscle.

It's the ultimate 'windows down, volume up' record that actually has a soul and a brain.

A heavy, blue-collar grit that gives way to an expansive, soulful longing for home.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The tectonic shift of the opening riff on Sin's a Good Man's Brother where the fuzz bass swallows the mix.
The transition into the orchestral coda of I'm Your Captain, where the hard rock dissolves into a cinematic sea shanty.
The desperate, repetitive soul-shouting during the climax of Get It Together.
