Bachman–Turner Overdrive

Bachman–Turner Overdrive is a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that had a series of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums in that decade alone. Their 1970s catalogue included five Top 40 albums and six U.S. Top 40 singles (ten in Canada). The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads" (derived from the band's gear-shaped logo). Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care of Business", "Hey You" and "Roll On Down the Highway", still receive play on classic-rock stations.

After the band went into a hiatus in 2005, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner reunited in 2009 to tour and collaborate on a new album. In 2010, they played the halftime show at the Grey Cup in Edmonton, AB and continue to tour as of summer 2014.

On March 29, 2014, the classic Not Fragile lineup reunited for the first time since 1991 to mark Bachman–Turner Overdrive's induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and participated in performing in a tribute version of "Takin' Care of Business."

Bachman–Turner Overdrive (1973 album)

Bachman–Turner Overdrive is the self-titled debut album by Canadian rock band Bachman–Turner Overdrive, released in 1973. It was originally to be titled Brave Belt III, as Brave Belt was the name of the group before they became Bachman–Turner Overdrive.

Although this album did not produce a true hit single ("Blue Collar" only managed to reach #68 on the U.S. Billboard charts), it was certified "Gold" by the RIAA in 1974, largely pulled up by strong sales of BTO's two subsequent albums (Bachman–Turner Overdrive II and Not Fragile).

In later years, this first album was often referred to as "BTO 1" to distinguish it from the band's follow-up second album.

Track listing

  • "Gimme Your Money Please" (C.F. Turner) – 4:41 (Lead Vocal: Turner)
  • "Hold Back the Water" (Randy Bachman, Rob Bachman, Kirk Kelly) – 5:06 (Lead Vocal: Turner)
  • "Blue Collar" (C.F. Turner) – 6:10 (Lead Vocal: Turner)
  • "Little Gandy Dancer" (Randy Bachman) – 4:22 (Lead Vocal: Turner)

  • Bachman–Turner Overdrive (1984 album)

    Bachman–Turner Overdrive (Sometimes referred to as Hard And Fast) is the ninth studio album by Canadian rock band Bachman–Turner Overdrive, released in 1984. This is the only BTO studio album done without Robbie Bachman on drums. He disputed some of the agreements for the album and reunion, including the choice of Tim Bachman instead of Blair Thornton, and refused to join. This album is also the last studio album Randy Bachman has done to date with BTO. The album was originally released on Compleat Records, but it is currently in print under the Sun Record label. The leadoff single, "For the Weekend," also included an accompanying music video.

    Track listing

  • "For the Weekend" (R. Bachman) – 4:20
  • "Just Look at Me Now" (T. Bachman, Turner) – 4:38

    Bachman & Turner

    Bachman & Turner is a musical project that followed the dissolution of Bachman–Turner Overdrive. The band released their eponymous debut on September 7, 2010 in North America and September 20, 2010 in Europe. A single, "Rollin' Along", was also released via iTunes. The duo is backed on the album and tours by members of Randy Bachman's previous touring band of Mick Dalla-Vee, Brent Knudson and Marc LaFrance.

    Band history

    The collaboration actually started out as a Randy Bachman solo project. Bachman had already recorded a few songs, with well-known artists Neil Young, Jeff Healey and Paul Rodgers contributing. He then made the decision to try to get Fred Turner from his old BTO days to contribute vocals on a track:

    "...So I sent him one called 'Rock n’ Roll is the Only Way Out.' And he sent me the track back and I went, 'Unbelievable! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it!' Me and him together, there’s this magic, like a Jagger and Richards kind of thing. I e-mailed him and said, 'Do you have any more songs? Fred, I’m willing to change my solo album and it can become a Bachman & Turner album.' He said, 'Sounds pretty good. I got really excited about doing this song.' So he sent me four or five of his songs and I sent him more of mine. And we got together just before Christmas, in December (2009), in Winnipeg."
