Listen Later

In this episode of VRP Rocks, Paul welcomes back legendary Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner for another incredible conversation. Mark shares the inspiration behind his first new album in almost 20 years, "Closer to My Home", and the fascinating story of re-recording his iconic hit "I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)" in 432 Hz.

Mark also reflects on his near-death experience, discusses his collaboration with Mark Slaughter, and gives his unfiltered thoughts on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Grand Funk’s controversial exclusion. Plus, could there be a Grand Funk Railroad reunion in the future?

Mark was first featured on episode 85 of VRP Rocks (March 2023), where he told unforgettable stories about Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, selling out Shea Stadium faster than the Beatles, and much more. Be sure to check it out: Episode 85
