Sin's A Good Man's Brother (Grand Funk Railroad) - Chris Eger's One Take Weekly @ Plum Tree Studio

Episode 186:
Flint, MI power trio, Grand Funk Railroad, released their third studio album on June 15th, 1970. Closer To Home became the band's third album in 1970 to reach Gold status. The powerful lead-off track lulls the listener in with a tranquil acoustic guitar intro, followed immediately by an explosion of heavy electric guitar, bass and drums. "Sin's A Good Man's Brother" is a quintessential Grand Funk song, epitomizing the band's early, hard Blues-Rock approach.
OTW is engineered and mixed by Richard Williams @ Plum Tree Recording Studio.
One Take Weekly aims to present a sneak peek inside a studio recording session, each track performed and filmed in one take - imperfections & all. No overdubs, NO AUTOTUNE, and no trick-photography! (Just good mixing...& bare bones video editing skills) What you see is what you hear - CE.

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Gotta admit -- you did it justice. That is not an easy one to sing! One of the all time great riffs.

[@dougdowdle7763]

You’re nailing Grand Funk, so great to hear. Great playing!

[@CHIG5748]

Closest cover I’ve ever heard. The tonality of the instruments and vocal is spot on!

[@davidlove827]

As someone who saw GFR do this live in 1972, DAMN this is good!

[@chuckie5671]

I've listened to a lot of covers of Grand Funk and I must say that you are the very best I've heard. Thank you!

For some reason I was expecting to hear "Aimless Lady" That was really good

[@chrisegerband]

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqavppioea2ipLMsi=buKzeQ-oL8-kwSqw

[@rexhutto1196]

Man, you guys have it all. Bass, drums, gee-tar, vox. By far the best GFR cover band I have heard in my 50+ years of listening to these tunes. You capture the sweaty, testosterone oozing garage rock vibe of early GFR before they sold out to pop better even than the current incarnation of the band. I'm in awe.............

[@bflo1000]

Perfect! My fave GFR song.

[@carlobell32]

I love GFR band , and your cover is really really good !!! Bravissimo Chris

[@TimCB900F]

[@webman1956]

Awesome rendition!

[@ddistrbd1]

All I can say is WOW, right on .

[@briancalvelage1579]

As usual Chris, you nail the Farmer Funk songs! Great job! Sharing with my Farmer page!

[@sinsagoodmansbrother]

My FAVORITE GFR song of ALL time as you can tell from my "handle" I love how on the album they bounce the rhythm guitar from left to right channel while Mark Farner is wailing over it! It sounds awesome with headphones on too! My 2nd favorite is "Can't Be Too Long" 3rd is "Nothing Is The Same" ROCK ON Brother!!!

[@69reubs]

Amazing….thanks for sharing. Now that you have GFR mastered I’d love to hear you cover “Never in my life” by Mountain.

[@chrisegerband]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/paWcgJiVaNKcbK8si=S7MUHdPhF_MSrCRf Here you go!

[@robertsuggs2510]

Hey Chris,,,on the Grand Funk stuff will you turn the bass UP a bit MORE !! JUST FANTASTIC BROTHER 🎸🤠 from Arkansas USA

[@cgclark4193]

Splendid work, definitely a song to pull from the achieve dust it off and understand it fully or we will loose a nation.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

OutstaNDING!!

[@Redart750]

Close your eyes and you can hear Mark Farner from fifty years ago.

[@hildaestrada2617]

Wow, asombroso 🎉

[@paolodrago3872]

Outstanding! A very good work on this song.

[@superkunk2]

Very Cool.

[@DenisPetrov1980]

Wow! Cool! I have the same Eastwood Messenger, too.

[@domenicodigioia3074]

come l'originale,anzi meglio

[@thesidenadventure3796]

Fantastic!

[@charlesjaphe]

Do more GFR videos, please

[@senatornoam7313]

Nailed it Dude 😎👊

[@wcharliewilson7004]

Eventually do the live versions of Paranoid and Inside Looking Out.

[@wcharliewilson7004]

I have the very same Messenger. I'm very impressed with your renditions. Your 'competitors', if you refer to them as that, do not capture the essence of GFR as you do. Back in the early 70s I learned what I could of Funk by listening to Red and Live albums (33 1/3) at 16 rpm. Pretty much figured them out lick for lick

[@sothernsweetie68]

Awesome!! Can u do any BAD COMPANY w Paul Roger's or maybe even FREE?

[@ryhouseholder]

Has anyone sent this to Mark?

[@joeblow-tp6gz]

Drums just aren't as good without the giant afro!

[@chrisegerband]

haha! Agreed!
