"WE'RE AN AMERICAN BAND" was slightly more infectious song oriented hardrock-based than their previous work, the band plays as if it can do no wrong on this strong set. Produced by Todd Rundgren, the album spawned such gems as the rowdy and autobiographical title track, as well as such other highlights as "The Railroad," "Stop Looking Back," and "Ain't Got Nobody."
They lost the 'Railroad' in their name but they gained a producer (Todd Rundgren) and a #1 hit single! Music critics universally hated the blue collar boys from Flint, Michigan, known as Grand Funk Railroad... while long hair, denim clad teens throughout the heartland of America craved their music. Following a long line of big-selling albums and successful tours, GFR cut We're An American Band, which is a '70's hard rock classic.
The title track is an anthem of epic proportions, that will forever withstand the test of time, while "The Railroad" is a huge cult favorite, the tracks within bleed emotion. "Black Licorice", pays homage to a beautiful ebony woman, while "Walk Like a Man" is an infectious track, featuring chest beating vocals from drummer Don Brewer. Grand Funk Railroad were one of the biggest and most popular hard rock groups of the early to mid 70's, they were topping the charts and selling out concerts, and few hard rock bands could do without writing a sappy love song. However, nowadays when the topic of discussion is "legendary hard rock bands", Grand Funk Railroad rarely get mentioned, because they weren't as influential as say, Led Zeppelin or Van Halen. However, this shows Grand Funk at their full potential, and this is widely considered their most popular, even best, album.
We're An American Band was produced by Todd Rundgren and moved major units ~
