- CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
- Grand Funk Railroad "Closer To Home" 1970 (USA)
- "Indeed,
Grand Funk has matured - and that's what this album is all about. Their
music is and has been clearly a reflection of the most aware, most
matured generation in the history of the world - a world which they
have inherited filled with violence, pollution and desperate, dying
elders. Like the generation to which they belong, their first album
said 'This is me . . . this is what I see!' Their second album grew as
they grew and said 'This is me . . . this is what I feel!' And now with
this, their third, they join hands with their millions of Brothers and
Sisters and say, 'This is me . . . this is where I am going! They are
three who belong to the New Culture setting forth on its final voyage
through a dying world . . . searching to find a way to bring us all
CLOSER TO HOME." (From the liner notes by Terry Knight)
Ho ho ho, happy Hippy Xmas!
