Why This Record Matters
Closer To Home is Grand Funk Railroad’s third studio album, first released in 1970. It reached No. 6 on the Billboard album chart and became the band’s third gold-certified album that year. The nearly ten-minute “I’m Your Captain” closes the record and became one of the group’s signature songs.
