We’re An American Band is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad, credited as Grand Funk. The album was released by Capitol Records on July 15, 1973. This album is a departure from the three-man band that has worked all these years. In addition to Mark Farner, Don Brewer and Mel Schacher this album features as a new member keyboardist Craig Frost. I own two different versions of this album, one with black vinyl and one with gold vinyl. This album spawned two singles, the title track We’re An American Band and Walk Like A Man, both singles were sung by drummer Don Brewer. After this album, in my opinion, they went from Rock to Bubble Gum. It was not the same anymore when they were no longer a three-piece band. This album was still well written, performed, recorded and produced (by Todd Rundgren). This is still a great album to add to your Grand Funk library.
