Trunk Of Funk, Vol. 2

Grand Funk Railroad, sometimes known as Grand Funk, is an American rock band that was very popular during the 1970s, they toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide. David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine once said, "You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!" Grand Funk Railroad has certainly had their fair share of compilations released over the years. This set takes the albums in the well named Trunk of Funk and releases them in two bite size chunks For long time Grand Funk fans looking to replace their vinyl with remastered CDs, the two Trunk of Funks boxes are a good way to start. Included the box one are the group's first four albums -- their 1969 debut, On Time, and their 1970 trio of releases (something that is unheard of nowadays by modern rock bands), Grand Funk, Closer to Home, and Live Album -- plus previously unreleased tracks.Although Grand Funk was to enjoy their biggest commercial success a few years down the line (1973's We're an American Band), it's the group's early era that is often considered its peak by the headbanging crowd. And it's easy to understand why after hearing the Black Sabbath-esque "Sin's a Good Man's Brother," the turbo-charged "Are You Ready," and the drum solo showcase "T.N.U.C." The original Dave Tedds masters have been used and each box has an essay by Malcolm Dome as well as original album credits .
