After gaining some recognition from the success of the band’s previous album, Bachman-Turner Overdrive got around to recording Not Fragile. Not only had one of the three Bachman brothers (Tim, the rhythm guitarist) left the band to BTO’s advantage, but Randy Bachman and C.F. Turner had clearly grown musically. To the album’s benefit, most of the material on Not Fragile are the band’s much-liked rock anthems, ranging from the hyper-distorted title track, through the famous but far more timid song “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” Continue reading “Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Not Fragile (1974) [2021, Remastered, WEB Hi-Res]”

Following his 1970 departure from the Guess Who, guitarist Randy Bachman recorded a solo album (Axe) and planned a project with ex-Nice keyboardist Keith Emerson (later canceled due to illness) before forming Bachman-Turner Overdrive in 1972. Originally called “Brave Belt,” the metal group was comprised of singer/guitarist Bachman, fellow Guess Who alum Chad Allan, bassist C.F. “Fred” Turner, and Randy’s brother, drummer Robbie; after a pair of LPs (Brave Belt I and Brave Belt II), Allan was replaced by another Bachman brother, guitarist Tim, and in homage to the trucker’s magazine Overdrive, the unit became BTO.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s Four Wheel Drive album is most often overlooked, mainly because all of the attention was focused on the singable “na na na naa”‘s of one of B.T.O.’s biggest hits in “Hey You.” But the rest of the album is made up of the band’s lunch-pail rock & roll sound, combining ample amounts of factory-made blues to street-dirty guitar rock.

Ben Davies called Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s first album a “fusion of Lynyrd Skynyrd-style Southern/trucker rock and ZZ Top’s anthemic arena rock,” and with their logo imprinted in a big metallic gear which looks like it inspired James Cameron’s Terminator trademark, Randy Bachman, his brothers Tim and Robbie, and C.F. Turner dish out a methodical mix of plodding hard dirges. Continue reading “Bachman-Turner Overdrive – Bachman-Turner Overdrive (1973) [2020, Remastered, WEB Hi-Res]”
