That sound exploded onto the national stage with Grand Funk Railroad, one of the most successful American hard rock bands of the 1970s.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    With Farner as one of its principal voices, Grand Funk released a remarkable catalog that included multiple gold and platinum albums and enduring hits such as \u003cstrong\u003e“I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home),” “We're an American Band,” “The Loco-Motion,” “Bad Time,”\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e“Some Kind of Wonderful.”\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    By the 1980s, Farner's songwriting had entered a different phase. Rather than chasing the excesses of mainstream rock, he increasingly focused on \u003cstrong\u003efaith, spiritual awareness, social responsibility, and personal transformation\u003c\/strong\u003e, while retaining the bluesy guitar work and soulful vocal delivery that had always defined his music.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    That period brought Farner to \u003cstrong\u003eFrontline Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, where he released a series of albums that became highly regarded among fans of Christian rock and melodic hard rock.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cem\u003eWake Up...\u003c\/em\u003e continued that evolution with a sound rooted in \u003cstrong\u003eblues-rock and heartland rock\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is not simply Grand Funk revisited. The record is more reflective and message-driven, with Farner's gritty, earnest vocals carrying songs built around spiritual urgency, grace, character, love, and responsibility.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The guitar work serves the songs rather than dominating them. Farner's playing remains unmistakable, but the focus is on emotional weight, memorable melodies, and a strong lyrical message.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    One of the album's standout tracks, \u003cstrong\u003e“Upright Man,”\u003c\/strong\u003e received significant airplay on CCM radio and remains one of the best-known songs from this chapter of Farner's career.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Other songs including \u003cstrong\u003e“Wake Up,” “Into The Light,” “Come To Me,” “If It Wasn't For Grace,” “Love Power,”\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e“Role Model”\u003c\/strong\u003e showcase the balance between Farner's classic rock roots and the spiritually focused songwriting that defined his Frontline-era work.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    For this 2026 Roxx Records edition, the album has been \u003cstrong\u003eremastered by Rob Colwell\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose mastering credits include work involving Brother Cane, King's X, Sixpence None The Richer, and numerous respected reissue projects.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The physical CD is housed in a traditional jewel case and includes an \u003cstrong\u003e8-page lyric booklet\u003c\/strong\u003e, making this a substantial new edition for collectors who have waited decades to put \u003cem\u003eWake Up...\u003c\/em\u003e back on the shelf.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Farner's music remains very much alive.
