Description

Grand Funk Railroad built their reputation on tour, they were the peoples choice. On the 1973 release of their seventh studio album, it took producer Todd Rundgren to polish the pop. This is the album where they turned commercial and radio stations found comfort. The funk is still there, the hard rock is still there, but sonically, the record was sharp and detailed and the bands playing was tighter and more accomplished. The albums title song became Grand Funks first gold-selling number one hit, it became there signature song and went on to be one of the biggest rock songs of all time.

Were An American Band climbed to #2 on the album charts, the highest position of all their albums and a second single, Walk Like a Man also reached the Top 20.
