Closer to Home is Grand Funk Railroad's third studio album and was released on June 15, 1970 by Capitol Records. It was produced by Terry Knight. This album reached RIAA gold record status in 1970, making it the group's third gold record in one year. The songs "Sin's a Good Man's Brother" and "Aimless Lady" were later covered by South African group Suck - great name, huh! The album's inside artwork shows a live photo of the band performing at Madison Square Garden in February 1970. This peaked at #6 in US and Canada. But GFR didn't get chart action in the UK.
