BACHMAN TURNER OVERDRIVE Looking out for Number one (Music Reaction video) First time hearing

[@brucethomson9923]

Next? Blue collar... you'll love it.

[@janetschmitt6760]

The other great jazzy BTO song is "Blue Collar".

[@grahamheal6329]

"Blue Collar".....very philosophical and societal commentary

[@brianoden1798]

Just heard Blue Collar a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe that jem passed my radar all of these years. Great song indeed!

[@Coowallsky]

Welcome Home has a great jazzy outro.

[@marybaillie8907]

What a treat to wake up to!!! From their 1975 album, "Head On", this beautiful jazzy tune is a masterpiece for your ears. Randy had a jazz up bringing and received tutelage from Lenny Breau full on display here.The instrumentation on this song is heaven and the guitars simply magical. Loved your reaction Harri, you had the appropriate head bob for that 70's groove. 😅😅 Thanks Harri and Louie. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@kentclark6420]

This and Blue Collar are my favorites. They both have similar jazzy/bluesy elements.

[@brucethomson9923]

Oh - and Bachman was always ahead of his time - this was recorded in 1975...

[@kevindohn6776]

That's some real good guitar playing there, and pretty jazzy for a hard rockin' band, shows how versatile BTO were ! Canada has produced a lot of good bands over the years, that's for sure !

[@spawn4582]

It's fantastic, jazz-rock, with great transitions, even a bit progressive, music that never gets bored.

[@timwhitnell7145]

This should be considered a masterpiece. That is some master guitar work by the vastly underrated Randy Bachman. This is one of those deep cuts from BTO that I have been advocating for so thanks, Harri. Do yourself and your viewers a favour and also react to other deep and great tunes by BTO like Blue Collar and Gimme Your Money Please.

[@johnhampton7287]

I believe Randy Bachman was an admirer and a bit of a student of Lenny Breau, a prominent Winnipeg-based jazz guitarist of the 50s and 60s. You might be hearing some of that influence here.

[@debbieplato5107]

Yeah, Lenny Breau lived on the same street as Randy Bachman.

[@daviddragavon7555]

If you haven't already, please do Blue Collar. If you like this one, you'll love Blue Collar..and it is one their first releases. Jazz Fusion is the category you were looking for.

[@michaelmolloy6697]

Blue Collar is their hidden gem of this super group!

[@jesterger]

Randy Bachman was a big part of The Guess Who. He co-wrote many of their songs with Burton Cummings. Songs like American Woman, These Eyes.NoTime and many others. A great Canadian artist from Winnepeg, Manitoba.

[@Tunachaz62]

The video of this song is even better!

[@williamdemerchant7295]

Recorded in 1975, released in 1976. Doesn't sound like other BTO bangers, however there is a little Guess Who in there, and a lot of Jazz with a Steely Dan vibe. Nice one!

[@Imadrummin]

One of BTO's smoothest tunes. A BTO from way back. Nice pick Louis. Glad you liked it Harri. 👍

[@markwilliams5606]

Thanks Canada. Appreciate it. 🇺🇸🇨🇦🐴☕

[@michaelnotigan7796]

BTO's song "Blue Collar" from their first studio album in 1973 is another jazz infused classic song worth checking out.

[@markcornish2519]

They were known for their great hard rocking songs, but this is a great smooth sound

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

We saw the group play at Winterland in San Francisco. They played great though they weren’t exactly the most exciting band to watch. At one point CF Turner took a deep breath and said “Sure smells good in here!

[@davebzen795]

Louie - What a good submission. BTO put out relaxing, melodic jazzy tunes. Nice review, Harri.

[@garyarnett1220]

Randy just showing off his guitar skills...as if we didn't already know.

[@wilfbentley6738]

Randy Bachman would laugh his head off at being called a "posh white band". He was totally a working man.

[@juliotamu7484]

Funny that I've heard it in the 70's but always fast forwarded to the next fast/hard rock song that was next. You made me appreciate this song.

[@howardhales6325]

Another song from my high school days, made special because the band was from nearby Winnipeg. I still know every word of every song from BTO's first three albums. A treat to hear this today.

[@wilfbentley6738]

BTO has a catalogue: Let It Ride, You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet, Takin Care Of Business, Hey You others

[@mike1956will]

Love this song!!

[@richardconnolly4835]

Jazz influenced not only BTO but also the Guess Who when Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings were both in the band. Randy wrote and Burton sang Undun with its jazzy feel.

[@debrabrabenec]

One of my favorites, still on my playlists! Try a Guess Who song "Undun" to hear some more of Randy Bachman's jazzy guitar work!

[@billherman7294]

Excellent reaction Harri, I felt it right along with ya. Damn I had good taste at 15 years old

[@markr.devereux3385]

Another good listen from a great band BTO.. nice job PRINCE HARRY i like smooth jazz too aka george benson or PAUL JACKSON JR

[@robjohnson5872]

Harry ! Looked like you were having an eargasm ! If you liked this - try Blue Collar as well by BTO - more of the same and great guitar! Also, "Rock Is My Life (and this is my song)" more BTO GOLD - thanks Louis for the request !

[@manomyth11]

That's why I've been listening to this song ever since', at least a few times a year when I need that sound''' to bring me back around''. 😎😉

[@Yooper2024]

I think Randy's big jazz influence was guitarist Lenny Breau.

[@4tuneagent]

They have another cool sort of laid back tune, but it has a Rock edge also.. It's called " Rock Is My Life (And This is My Song)".. one of my faves..

[@petervandervlies6427]

Makes me think of my daughter, Mandy. She's my Nr1. Great song, my favorit BTO record. Thanks for doing this one. 😁👍👊

[@doplinger1]

Great selection Louis! I forgot how cool this song was!

[@jeffcobb2734]

This jazzy rock swing song fits nicely on the Yacht Rock cruise liner!

[@maggynewtown3500]

They had a large repertoire of rock tunes. The biggest hit, if I remember correctly.. was "Taking Care of Business". Still popular with rockers and race car drivers. From the best decade in popular music history - the 70s. Canadian band. Randy Bachman has lived around Vancouver BC and on an offshore island for years.

[@julietenning7981]

This song came out in 1975. It was a little too jazzy for me, but it was so damned catchy, and so very smooth, and played so often that i became a fan of it.

[@williamdemerchant7295]

A sound that grows on me more now (with age) than it did back in the 70s. I wanted to hear BTO do Takin' Care of Business or Let It Ride back then.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great song! Randy Bachman was part of "The Guess Who" & then went on to have a solo career with BTO. Both were great Canadian rock bands. BTO had a lot of great songs in the 70's such as "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Hey You", "Let It Ride", "Roll On Down The Highway", "Free Wheelin'", "Take It Like A Man" etc.

[@clannad99germany70]

Let it ride was my favorite, I guess Bachman later went back, occasionally to the Guess Who.

[@mariaportengen2959]

I really love this song, it's so relaxed and jazzy. 🎸🎸🎶🎶👍

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Great Randy Bachman got the Gretsch back that he used in this song.

[@incensejunkie7516]

One of my favourite BTO tunes, what a great song. My all time favourite is Blue Collar and I hope that's up next! Absolutely love when Randy goes jazz with his rock bands. Undun (with the Guess Who), Blue Collar, this song...all on my "if I end up on a desert island" playlist.

[@incensejunkie7516]

And if any guitarists want to learn the chords to this song, Randy himself shows you on his channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqHbhWCEfJqrfLs

[@78zappaf]

Thank you for reacting to this great track! I loved the ending part. I think you are the only one to react to this track (hoping others will follow)

[@hodaka07]

BTO were a 70's band big time I remember this in 8th grade

[@jamesburke868]

Hello Harri..this song released in 1976..spring

[@MrDalebenberger]

O Canada!!!!!!!

[@themusicboxx8419]

I only remember hearing the same five or so radio hits here in the States. Unfortunately radio here missed some of BTO's best. I have some of their rockers on my channel. Thanks for the reaction!✌

[@distressedhusker3141]

70's music rules, BTO had a nice run in the 70's another rocking song rarely played by BTO would be "Give Me Your Money Please" you should check it out.

[@wallacecallow2255]

Yes, another spacey, bluesy song they did that I like even a little better than this, is 'Blue Collar'. And more of Randy Bachman's cool solos!

[@SnowmanN49]

This song was recorded in late '75, released early '76. Most of their songs are more hard rock but I like this smooth jazz style. Another one like this is "Blue Collar" from 1973. I love the way Randy plays, the clarity of each note. Partly his skill and partly the guitar. A 1957 Gretsch, it just has that clean sound.

[@123denz]

Randy Bachman = Genius

[@jypziiatthecrossroads9047]

Blue Collar is another Jazzy departure.

[@daviddragavon7555]

Pretty sure it was the 1970's, 76 maybe. Trusting my old guy memory..

[@shaunriley483]

BTO is Awesome!! Just a incredible band!

[@gerrygrasvik523]

These guys had a refreshing jazz vibe many years before it became popular...Just so easy to listen to...isn't it? 😎

[@GunsmithSid]

This had me thinking of ‘Girl From Ipanema’ - of course I did just hear of Astrud’s passing :(

[@jimbrentar]

"Looking Out For #1" was also a popular book by Robert Ringer

[@Mike990920]

Your reaction was absolutely perfect!! Another piece (of his) you might like is Blue Collar.

[@zzyzxx13]

I'm glad you liked this song, though it's not one of my favorites off this album. I much prefer "Average Man", "It's Over", "Away From Home", "Find Out About Love" and "Take It Like A Man." Check 'em out. A Bluesy song of theirs I do like, however, is "Blue Collar" off BTO I. Check it out, too. You will love it!

[@kianpa1]

❤

[@ItsDemonaxio]

How do you not know the year of songs you feature I can find the year of every song I listen to?

[@Thejazzfan66]

Yeah, this song had a very different musical style for this band. It shows what a versatile guitarist Randy Bachman is. BTW, this song came out in the 70’s before smooth jazz.

[@GETTINREAL123]

Good one! Now try the hardrockin Not Fragile!

[@benjaminbrowardONEOG]

Dude. Kudos to your person requesting this. Like, I totally forgot this one. Far out

[@IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

I think that Randy was at heart a jazz guitarist, he just played hard rock to pay the bills.

[@RainerAumer-wj6vr]

Right on brother. Seen the guess who in early 70s. Indpls convention center

[@ronjm945]

A fantastic tune from BTO, too bad they didn’t do a full album of this style of music 🎶…

[@Beatles4Sale.]

I guess he was ahead of his time! 1975…I was in tenth grade. 🤣🤣🤣

[@brucemckay1611]

Watch out my friend, you’re going to be known as a Canadian music fan 😂🤣😂

[@brucemckay1611]

Oh! Found it! Thx!

[@davidschecter5247]

We became aware of Randy's jazzy leanings way back with "Undun" by the Guess Who.

[@arturodiaz6839]

You are wrong this is a 1970 song influensed by bossa-nova Sergio Mendez

[@marceldagenais1893]

And Canadian!

[@judyyurchuk4904]

🎶👏👍🇨🇦

[@grantschubach5163]

More BTO please

[@librarylady13]

😍😍😍

[@marvenleftick]

There were ahead of their time....why not in rock and roll hall of fame???

[@WyliesLiveMusicCorner]

...And here's the man himself (and son Tal!) ripping the solos from this fantastic song, just a few months ago... (RB is 80 years old!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6abm5qEj5Kgj5I

[@brucemckay1611]

Don’t touch Burton Cummings, or you will be lost

[@craigaust3306]

He already has

[@craigslue]

Big BTO fan but don't think I've heard this one.

[@Thejazzfan66]

Note: This song is definitely not like almost any of BTO’s other songs!!…lol

[@marceldagenais1893]

1974
