''We're An American Band'' is Grand Funk Railroad's seventh studio album, and was released in July 1973 by Capitol Records. It was produced by Todd Rundgren. This is the first album to feature Craig Frost as a full-fledged band member. The original issue was on a translucent yellow disk. The label, above the side numbers, instructed listeners to play "at full volume." It included four stickers (two blue, and two red) with the Grand Funk "Pointing Finger" logo. Emphasizing the shortening of the group's name, largely for legal reasons, the word "Railroad" does not appear anywhere on the album sleeve, liner, or vinyl record.
The album itself spawned two singles; the #1 title cut, and "Walk Like a Man", which peaked at #19 in 1974. The album is #200 of the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) [Definitive 200] albums of all time. - Wikipedia
