Bachman-Turner Overdrive was made up of Randy Bachman on lead and rhythm guitar and vocals, his younger brother Rob Bachman on drums, Fred Turner on bass and vocals, and Blair Thornton on lead and rhythm guitar and vocals. To say they were huge in the 1970s is, well, a colossal understatement! I learned from an interview with Randy Bachman years and years ago that he wanted BTO to be a rhythm based rock band. But I didn't know until very recently that they were sharing a dressing room with the Doobie Brothers in New Orleans during Mardi Gras when he worked out some of "Let It Ride" and the Doobies based "Long Train Running" on his guitar noodlings as he ironed it out. That is astonishing and good to know. Randy said in that interview eons ago, back in the 1970s IIRC, that he wanted a band that was rhythmically similar to CCR and the Doobies. Killer rhythm was _the_ thing back in the 1970s and is much too absent from today's music. And BTO has so many excellent lead guitar solos! It is funny how I can remember those things from an interview almost 50 years ago, and I can't remember what time I got up this morning! Ah, the pleasures of life in your 60s! Ha, ha! 😂🤷♂️😉🎸

"Good morning, Mr Overdrive, how are you?" Back in the mid 70s my dad bought a second hand car, a Vauxhall Ventora. The model's nickname was 'the lazy fireball'. He bought it because it was cheap. It was cheap because it had an absurdly large engine, two litres, I think, and drank petrol like nobody's business. But if you managed to get to a cruising speed of 70 or so on South East England's crowded roads, you could push a button on the steering column that put it into a kind of fuel-saving fifth gear. The button was called 'overdrive'. I suspect I've heard this song many more times this year alone than my dad ever needed overdrive on the fireball.
