881 - Grand Funk Railroad We're An American Band 1973

Having made several changes in their business and musical efforts in 1972, Grand Funk Railroad made even more extensive ones in 1973, beginning with their name, which was officially truncated to "Grand Funk." And keyboardist Craig Frost, credited as a sideman on Phoenix, the previous album, was now a full-fledged bandmember, filling out the musical arrangements. The album's title song, an autobiographical account of life on the road written and sung by Don Brewer, was released in advance of the album and became a gold-selling number one hit.
