MARK FARNER SAYS NEW BALLAD GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION

Mark Farner's got a new album out called For The People that's full of
his patented Michigan rock-and-soul, but it's a balled titled "Girl"
that's drawing the most attention so far. Farner said that people are
probably reacting so strongly because he really delivered a strong
vocal performance on the track: "When I sang that song, I closed my
eyes, and I envisioned the character of the song, and I tried to act
it out, tried to make it a vision, you know, that the vocal would be
so expressive, that you could actually see what my face was doing when
I'm singing that song."

For The People can be ordered from the official markfarner.com
website.
Farner and his band will play their new material, as well as his hits
from Grand Funk Railroad, when they hit New Bedford, Massachusetts, on
Thursday (August 3rd).
