Grand Funk Railroad toured constantly to packed arenas worldwide. Other great minutes include a wiry song of emotional abuse with a non-gender-specific POV (“Mean Mistreater”), an existential self-questioner complete with panning wah-wah guitar (“Sin’s a Good Man’s Brother”), and a groovefest atop a sideways “Day Tripper” riff (“I Don’t Have to Sing the Blues.”) In all, Closer to Home is a fascinating sonic glimpse into post-hippie, post-Manson 1970: part political naiveté and topical fear, part anger and unironic rock 'n' roll.

I was fortunate to have seen Led Zeppelin 8 times over their career, and I can tell you, that as good as GFR was. A shame, since I will never listen to the entire drum solo on TNUC anyway.
