Greatest Hits
About This Album
Just what we needed. Grand Funk Railroad fans have had all the original albums reissued in fine remastered form, there have been greatest-hits comps galore and, well, no more needed to be said, right? Wrong. This 24-bit digitally remastered Greatest Hits contains 14 tracks of Funk. Though there are many who would disagree with the choice of material here, all but one of these cuts are a bona fide Top 60 chart placer. The final cut, "Inside Lookin' Out," never hit the mark at all. OK, to be fair, there are four Top Tens here, including two top placers, "We're An American Band" and the great cover of Goffin & King's "The Loco-Motion," which had been a hit for Little Eva over a decade before. "Some Kind of Wonderful" (another cover) hit number three, and "Bad Time," a track most people don't even remember, hit number four. Add to this "Shinin' On," which scored in the Top 20, and "Footstompin' Music," which hit the Top 40. Pretty impressive for their day. When one considers that these hits were scored over the band's last few records, it's even more of a big deal, except that musically by this time their most adventurous and bone-crunching music was well behind them.
