	Canconrox - Bachman Turner Overdrive
		Contrary to popular belief, the fire of BTO did not rise from the ashes of The Guess Who, at least not directly.
		They released their self-titled debut album as BTO in 1972 and the hard-driving rhythms of “Gimme Your Money Please” and what the band termed “heavy metal Prairies-style” in “Don’t Get Yourself In Trouble” were fused with the blues-twinged “Blue Collar” made the album an instant hit.
		BTO has tampered and experimented with their sound over the years, but have always gone back to what brought them to the dance.

	Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile
		BTO prefer to rely on an already familiar formula -- grab a chunky guitar riff, have all four instruments pound it into the ground in unison, add guitar solos and you've got a song.
		Yet the group possesses such fine guitarists in Randy Bachman and Blair Thornton, such excellent writers in Bachman and C.F. Turner and such marvelously unrestrained singing in Bachman and Turner that their simplicity becomes a basic guide to what current rock is all about.
		BTO have broken through to the Top 40 crowd and they've had the FM'ers since they began, and this set of nine hard driving, easy to listen to, pure rock is easily the best thing they've come up with yet.

	Bachman Turner Overdrive Biography
		Although criticized as simply being one of many live records to be cut that year in front of a rock-starved Japanese crowd, was a fine indication of the brand of entertainment the group delivered live.
		Consisting of Turner, original drummer Robbie Bachman, Thornton's return on guitars and Randy Murray holding down the rest of the guitar duties, the disc interestingly consists mostly of classic BTO brought up to date.
		Though some would condemn Turner and company for even attempting to recut these classics, it only takes a couple of listens to fully appreciate the guts it took to take on the project.

	Bachman-Turner Overdrive: Remastered Hits: The Best Of...: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Gone was the winsome pining and slightly rebellious edge of the mustachioed Burton Cummings, and absent was the abject mistrust of The Man. The self-referential analysis of Canada-U.S. geo-political discourse, as typified in "American Woman," was left behind in the Guess Who's sunburnt dust.
		BTO took the roll out of rock and packaged it in a drag-strip-ready, nuts-and-bolts package that sold tons of records (and later, a host of Time-Life retrospective packages).
		Those who still cling to BTO-- and you know who you are-- are usually dorky minivan types who think rock and roll is about having your friends over for beer and barbecue.

	Allpar presents Bachman-Turner Overdrive
		Randy Bachman's autobiography concentrates on the Guess Who but there's some interesting stuff on BTO as well, including the development of the band from Brave Belt I onwards.
		BTO had a bunch of gold records in a very short time, but they did not last long enough (for personal reasons) to put an indelible stamp into the world's consciousness.
		Their trademark sound was strongest and most consistent on Not Fragile and Four Wheel Drive, with traces on BTO, BTO II, and Freeways; it was completely gone by the time Rock N Roll Nights came out.

		Eleven years after their 1973 eponymous debut on Mercury, Randy Bachman brings brother Tim Bachman, C.F. Turner, and original Chad Allan/Guess Who drummer Garry Peterson together for this very decent set, also self-titled Bachman-Turner Overdrive, on a Mercury subsidiary, Nashville's Compleat Records.
		C.F. Turner's "City's Still Growin'" bogs things down a bit -- it could have just as easily fit on the post-Randy Street Action and Rock N' Roll Nights albums, and been just as easily forgotten.
		C.F. Turner's "Toledo" is yet more ZZ Top-style diesel rock while the closer, Randy Bachman's "Service With a Smile," is "Taking Care of Business" redux.

		After 1977's Freeways, Randy Bachman left the group for a solo career and formed another group, Ironhorse.

		My second and third-ever albums were also by BTO, with the fourth being Brave Belt II (BTO before they were BTO--c'mon somebody, release it on CD please--it's the only reason I still have my turntable hooked up).
		While BTO may not have invented the power chord, they certainly perfected it or, at the very least, brought it to an art form.
		While the first two BTO albums were serviceable examples of authentic 70's chug, this album finds the band hitting its stride, both in terms of writing and playing.
