The majority of Closer To Home is filled with the same straight-ahead rock & roll that had composed their previous efforts. Most evident is the inclusion of strings, the acoustic opening on the disc's leadoff cut, "Sins a Good Man's Brother," as well as the comparatively mellow "Mean Mistreater." But the boys had far from gone soft. Rather than rushing headlong into their typical hard, heavy, and overamplified approach, Grand Funk Railroad began expanding their production values. The album's inside artwork shows a live photo of the band performing at Madison Square Garden in February 1970.Ĭloser to Home was the record that really broke them through to the commercially successful level of Metal masters such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The album reached Gold record status the same year, making it the group's third Gold record in one year.
