This is by far and away Mark Farner's best work to date. Grand Funk fans sould enjoy this CD. You do not have to be a fan of CCM to enjoy this CD. Mark Farner's voice is as strong as ever, his message is just a little changed.Buy it!! Enjoy it!! Good Stuff!!

Mark Farner did it again with "Just Another Injustice/Some Kind of Wonderful". You can feel God working threw Mark to bring his word to us his people. Mark Farner has taken the funk of Grand Funk Railroad and incorporated the Spirit of Christ into it. I found this CD very inspirational and motivating. I know God is smiling and saying "Well Done, for this I am Pleased".

Mark Farner has taken the funk of Grand Funk Railroad and incorporated the Spirit of Christ into it. I found this CD very inspirational and motivating. I know God is smiling and saying "Well Done, for this I am Pleased". If this CD doesn't get your Spirit rocking then you best go back to Sunday School.

You can crank this one up and enjoy true rock and roll with a great message. Mark does not hold back at all. The guitar is powerful and creative. The remake of "Some Kind of Wonderful" makes your hair stand on end. These two albums in one are at a bargain. You can't go wrong buying this one. Give me the Works.

Of all the songs of mine that have been recorded, Mark's version of "Isn'T It Amazing" is my all time favorite. It was Mark who convinced me that, althought I had written the song about my daughter Jennifer's birth, the real inspiration of the song was God himself. His comment made me go back and look at the lyrics I had written. He was right.
I have recieved scores of moving letters with regard to this song, thanks to Mark's rendition. As a matter of fact, Im singing it live in church in Colorado Springs this Sunday.
The power of a song..the strength of a talent like Mark's..
This is what music is truly all about. Thank's for the ride, Mark. It truly is "amazing."

I have seen Mark Farner perform with Grand Funk Railroad on two ocassions.He is a bundle of energy and enthusiam.And with his solo album's Just Another Injustice and Some Kind Of Wonderful you will receive even more of Mark Farner.The Mark Farner with the power of God on his side.His vocals are full of strength,conviction and spirit. Just Another Injustice features a fine group of musicians plus the added benefit of Phil Keggy on lead guitar.Song favorites include "Airborne Ranger" a solid straight ahead rock n roller." Judgement Day Blues " True blues at its best." Isn't It Amazing " a beautiful song about the amazing power of prayer.Nice piano/keyboard arrangements!" Give Me The Works " a sentimental ballad which is written and centered around the acoustic guitar." Workin For The Winner " and " Just Another Injustice " both 80's style rockers.The ending song " Only You " shows Mark's song writing skills,a wonderful pop classic that in my opinion would do well on christain radio.My one complaint with this album is the electronic programmed drum mix.Real drums by a real live drummer would have added so much more texture/creativity. Some Kind Of Wonderful is the second offering on this compilation CD. This is the better of the two.What makes this better first and foremost is the use of a real drummer.Listen and you shall hear the difference.It also features superb bass guitar,Various back up vocals,excellent lead guitars and as usual Mark's powerful vocals.Favorite songs include " Love From Above " a funk rock explosion,with slap funk style bass playing,funky rythym guitar,funky funk rock drumming,sax solo's and hammond B3 organ sounds. " Some Kind Of Wonderful " A Great rendition reissue of the Grand Funk Classic.True to the original with some word changes giving us the message of a greater love. " Without You " A Powerful inspiring ballad.Mark really sings from his soul!! with heartfelt emotion and sense of purpose. " With Me Anywhere " his love is contagious in this one.His belief's shine through.Mark has written a wonderfully scripted christain rock ballad.My final thoughts: The music can be appreciated by all who listen but the christain message contained within can only be appreciated by those who choose to beleive.Whether or not,there is some Great music to be heard if you just keep an open mind.Two albums for the price of one.A Great musical bargain with some Great music.You can't go wrong." Enjoy "

Listening to songs like "Airborne Ranger" and "Judgement Day Blues" it's hard to beleive it's Christian music, but the words are definitely Spiritual. An awesome set for one of Rock's greatest guitarists. Ballads such as "Isn't It Amazing" and "Give Me the Works" will make you hear them over and over. A MUST for any collector of great music. His reworked rendition of the old song, "Some Kind of Wonderful" is excellent. Curt Bruner - Dallas, Tx

You can crank this one up and enjoy true rock and roll with a great message. Mark does not hold back at all. The guitar is powerful and creative. The remake of "Some Kind of Wonderful" makes your hair stand on end. These two albums in one are at a bargain. You can't go wrong buying this one. Give me the Works. Would like to see Mark's second Christian Album "Wake Up" released on CD.

Mark Farner came a long way to do this. Fantastic music, thought provoking and emotional lyrics. Not Yet is a song that will bring you to your knees because you say "not yet" because I am sure "there are a few things you want to do"
