Classic Rock Rewind with Bachman-Turner Overdrive
Bachman-Turner Overdrive or BTO was a hard driving Rock band that had a string of hits in the 70’s. Randy Bachman and Fred Turner teamed up to form this high flying, hard rockin band that produced their first and second album in 1973. The self-titled first album Bachman Turner Overdrive didn’t produce a hit but their second album, Bachman Turner Overdrive 2 managed two hits in “Takin Care Of Business” and “Let It Ride”.
Their third album titled “Not Fragile” was released in 1974 and proved to be their most popular and by far my favorite. This album featured hits such as “You Aint Seen Nothing Yet”, “Roll On Down The Highway”, the self titled track “Not Fragile”, and a few of my favorites in “Blue Moanin”, “Givin It All Away”, and ”Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song”.
Their fourth album was released in 1975 titled Four Wheel Drive and featured their radio hit “Hey You”. The band struggled to keep the same people with little success. Co-founder Randy Bachman soon left the band after their sixth album was cut in 1977.
BTO has always been one of my favorite Classic Rock bands as their hard charging style of music was right down my alley of preference. Below are some audio links of some of their better songs. I personally use and prefer Windows Media Player for everything that it will handle.
Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song
