 Steve and Abe's Record Reviews
Distinctly not: even if Randy Bachman were the "brains" behind this outfit (and one hesitates to use "brains" with a group this dumb), there is a distinct presence of Turner's personality in the group as well.
Robbie Bachman's drumming is actually quite intricate for this material, from the rolling snare line in "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" to the syncopated ride cymbal on "Blue Collar." But he bashes nicely when it's called for, as in "Takin' Care of Business" and lots of others.
I do feel that one of the reasons might be that despite Bachman's talent for writing some of the most inane lyrics in rock history, he is a damn fine guitarist.

Their studio albums may have been slick as any L.A. product of the period, but, as glimpsed here, the band's sloppy but agreeable two guitar attack, and Randy Bachman's endearingly whiney lead vocals, all but scream beer-soaked late night jams at some smoky dive in suburbia.All the hits are here in endearingly ragged versions.
The album's highpoint however has to be the intro to the most overtly garage-like song of the set, "Slow Down Boogie," in which while exhorting the audience to raise their hands in the air, make some noise, etc., bassist Fred Turner actually manages to use the word "boogie" seven times.
There's also the bonus of a 1998 Bachman interview that provides some droll anecdotes about the genesis of the band.
