Born to Die

Grand Funk Railroad

A heavy, introspective pivot from the kings of arena rock. Bluesy grit meets existential weight, trading stadium anthems for midnight reflection.

Find on Amazon

Grand Funk gets existential and moody, trading the stadium lights for a rainy street corner.

A weary, midnight blues-rock exploration of mortality and the weight of living.

Moments Worth Waiting For
