Grand Funk Railroad - 1969 - Grand Funk
Grand Funk Railroad is an American rock band that was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad sold more than 25 million records, toured constantly, packed arenas worldwide, and received four RIAA gold albums during 1970, the most for any American group that year. The current Grand Funk Railroad lineup uses the nickname "The American Band", a reference to the 1973 hit "We're an American Band". A popular take on the band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them. The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Railroad, a railroad line that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan. Grand Funk is Grand Funk Railroad's second studio album, and was released in December 1969 by Capitol Records. It was produced by Terry Knight and engineered by Ken Hamann. This release (aka "The Red Album") was certified by RIAA with a gold record award, the first for the group. 01 - Got This Thing On The Move 02 - Please Don1t Worry 03 - High Falootin` Woman 04 - Mr.Limousine Woman 05 - In Need 06 - Winter And My Soul 07 - Paranoid 08 - Inside Looking Out LINK
