[News] Legendary Mark Farner published the official visualzier for the single “Real” taken from hise new solo album

Legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner’s long-awaited new album, “Closer to My Home,” is available now! Bridging the gap between the past and present, this album captures the grit and determination of a man shaped by a hard-working, rural life. It celebrates Farner’s multi-faceted artistry while honoring the 55th anniversary of his iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer to My Home,” with a re-recording that finds Farner sounding just as powerful as he did in 1970.

From the rebellious “Anymore” to the heartfelt “Oh Darlin’” and the defiant “Same Game,” Farner’s journey as one of rock’s statesmen is undeniable. Tracks like “Façade,” “Friends For Forever,” “Real” and Tiny Fingers are a testament to Farner’s lifelong pursuit of love, light, and authentic expression. The album also includes collaborations with music legends Jim Peterik (The Ides of March, Survivor) on the CD-exclusive track “Friends Foreve” and Mark Slaughter on “Same Game.” The album is produced by Slaughter with Farner serving as co-producer.

The lead single “Real” brings vintage Farner vibes with an earworm chorus, capturing his signature style and powerful vocals. Watch the officail lyric video through the YouTube player below:


 

Farner explains: “These songs are honest and from my heart. The collaboration with Jim and Mark came from a place of trust, and that makes the whole experience more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that. These songs reflect very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer.

“Closer to My Home” reflects Farner’s belief that love is at the heart of everything he does, and music is his true home.

As a founding member, lead singer, and guitarist of Grand Funk Railroad, Farner’s contributions to Rock music are unparalleled. Known for his soulful voice, power riffs, and dynamic stage presence, Farner helped propel Grand Funk to the top of the charts with hits like “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home),” “Bad Time,” “Some Kind of Wonderful,” “Heartbreaker,” “Rock & Roll Soul,” “We Are an American Band,” “In Need,” “Paranoid” and many more. Even after over 60 years, Farner continues to perform with the same fiery energy that has made him a Rock‘n’Roll Icon.

Closer to My Home” is available on vinyl and CD via Righteous Rock Records, distributed by MVD Entertainment Group.
