Editorial Reviews

Fronted by Mark Farner & Don Brewer, Grand Funk Railroad was one of the most successful rock groups of the 1970's. After nearly a decade with Capitol Records, they switched over to the Warner offshoot, Full Moon Records for two albums. Grand Funk Lives & What's Funk? Released on CD for only a short time by the band themselves, these fine albums finally are available everywhere through Wounded Bird. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Final Funk needs no apologies, July 6, 2003

At last! I have the final piece of my Funk puzzle. And I can't stop listening to it. If this totally un-politically correct band hadn't so deeply offended the sensibilities of the liberal record reviewers with their stands on gun control and feminism, they'd have received their due respect. If you can take classic R&B hits like Its a Man's World and Nowhere to Run and make these songs sound almost like new, you've done something.
Yeah, there's pop on this album. They needed the airplay to sell some records. But there's edgier stuff here too. El Salvador has some hot Farner leads the equal of anything from their power trio days.
It may be difficult for most fans to appreciate both the garage band, extended solos of early Funk as well as the bigger productions and commerciality of late Funk. But if you can allow a band to grow up and stretch out, then you can appreciate just how good this and all their albums really are.
