Grand Funk

Grand Funk Railroad

Heavy, distorted blues-rock with a thick layer of 1969 grime. Mel Schacher’s lead-weight bass and Mark Farner’s raw vocals define this proto-metal cornerstone.

It's like a blues band that decided to play through a jet engine and forgot to turn the bass down.

Relentless, heavy-duty blues-rock with a gritty, working-class soul and a touch of psychedelic paranoia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, fuzzed-out bass entry on 'Inside Looking Out' that transforms a blues cover into a proto-metal behemoth.
The frantic, breathless harmonica soloing that pushes the tempo into a near-collapse during the climax of track 8.
The sudden shift into a haunting, minor-key psychedelic dirge halfway through 'Winter and My Soul'.
The way the drums hit with a dry, thudding physical weight at the start of 'Mr. Limousine Driver'.
