	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Pop Encyclopedia - Bachman, Randy
		Guitarist Randy Bachman was born and raised in Winnipeg and in the 1950's with Chad Allan And The Silvertones in the late 1950's.
		Bachman had been slugging it out for 10 years by the time the band struck gold with #1 hits like "These Eyes", "Laughing" and "American Woman" and decided to leave the group while they were on top.
		Bachman returned to running his own label (where he has released material by the original GUESS WHO, Lenny Breau and other guitarists in the Guitarchives series) and enjoying his family with wife Denise McCann and has managed two solo discs and some touring since then.

		Despite Randy Bachman's initial post-Guess Who projects bombing, by the mid-seventies he had settled in a band that was destined to do well - the aptly-named Bachman-Turner Overdrive.
		Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, the group's second album, was released before the end of the year, and it fared better commercially, spawning some big hits.
		Sadly, the Bachman-Turner Overdrive catalogue (with the exception of some hits compilations and the Not Fragile album) seems to be fading from store shelves.

	Canconrox - Bachman Turner Overdrive
		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 consisted mostly of classic BTO brought up to date with Murray on vocals, including "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and "Hey You".
		Robin Bachman’s been keeping the beat behind the drums from Day 1 and admits to not fully realizing what it is that makes up a song sometimes.
		They spent the majority of the ‘80’s in and out of reunions and saw a few members come and go while the rest were trying their hands at outside projects.

	Bachman-Turner Overdrive band history
		Randy Bachman left the Guess Who out of frustration with the band's decidedly non-Mormon lifestyle (Bachman himself was a convert), and formed a new band, Brave Belt, with fellow Canadian Chad Allan and Randy's brother Robbie (on drums).
		Their new name was inspired by the truckers' magazine Overdrive; Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the record formerly turned down by every record company they sent it to, was released in 1973 and did fairly well: it stayed on the charts for 68 weeks.
		Bachman-Turner Overdrive II followed soon afterwards; it was more polished and had their biggest hit, Takin' Care of Business, as well as the hit Let It Ride.

		This four-man band from Vancouver may be short on flamboyance, but producer-guitarist Randy Bachman (formerly a mainstay of the Guess Who) has a sure sense of dynamics and tone.
		Bachman plays lead with imagination and power, while brother Tim is growing into a solid second guitarist (a third brother, Rob, is the drummer, and bassist Fred Turner rounds out the group).
		Together, they sound like a more explosive but less articulate Creedence; Turner, Randy and Tim all seem to be using John Fogerty as their vocal model.

		These guys just don't know when to toss in the towel, though singer/guitarist C. Turner's obviously been doing some serious pondering on the subject.
		Bachman-Turner Overdrive launched a million bad jokes about spare tires and hefty metal, but this beefy Canadian band's shimmering power hooks still motor past all tasteful objections.

	Allpar Presents Bachman-Turner Overdrive
		It was almost entirely written by Randy Bachman, and has little of the heavy-duty sound of earlier records; in fact it better resembles his solo "Survivor" and his later band Ironhorse.
		Randy Bachman is once again absent, as Fred Turner recreates BTO and proves that Turner is more important than Bachman in performance.
		Turner's throat is fully up to speed, and he uses it to advantage.

	Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Not Fragile
		Other highlights include the onomatopoetic "Sledgehammer," in which Randy Bachman compares an ex-girlfriend to the title object, and "Free Wheelin'," an instrumental that sounds like all the other songs except that it has no vocals.
		The BTO formula is one of simplicity combined with excellence, as the band concentrates first and foremost on pure rock with no frills.
		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.

		I purchased Bachman-Turner Overdrive II because I loved the song "Takin' Care of Business." This song has kind of become their signature song because of the Office Depot ads; but it was not always so!
		Bachman-Turner Overdrive had recorded under the name "Brave Belt" in Canada before scoring big in the U.S. with the name we know them by.
		Turner was the bass player while the Turner's took turns at lead guitar.

		After 1977's Freeways, Randy Bachman left the group for a solo career and formed another group, Ironhorse.
		Bachman-Turner Overdrive continued on in his absence with replacement Jim Clench for two more albums, Street Action and Rock n' Roll Nights (both 1978), eventually changing their name to simply BTO.
		At the tail-end of the decade, the band dissolved, but in the 1980s they re-grouped to tour as both Bachman-Turner Overdrive (led by Randy) and BTO (led by Robbie); the ensuing confusion the name game triggered ultimately resulted in Randy Bachman filing suit against his one-time bandmates for rights to the group's logo.
