Fred Turner had/has the most savage voice in Rock history. Not even close.

[@domofrankino5113]

Hard to argue that with Blackie Lawless a close second.

[@thomascamara8398]

You got that right

[@fuiplu]

Agreed 💯..and a kick ass bass player

[@stevesmodelbuilds5473]

They found him singing in a dumpy bar in their hometown of Winnipeg. Randy was told: You gotta hear this guy belt out 'House of the Rising Sun.' And the rest is history...

[@joeclark1621]

Totally badass song. The great late drummer Robbie Bachman, the guitar playing, the lead singer, great band from Winnipeg, Canada. Awesome reaction as always.

[@Stumpfollj]

Tribute to Robbie Bachman's passing today. Great drummer, loved this group.

[@fuiplu]

Robbie

[@frankmonteleone5325]

RIP Robbie,. He's jamming with Tim and Jim.

[@weshart6139]

The lyrics are hilarious “Times real short you know the distance is long I’d rather have a jet but it’s not in the song” Love it!!! Great song from a great band!!!! Takes me back! I’m

[@peccatumDei]

BJ gets it! This song came out when I was a teenage motorhead, out running around with my friends in muscle cars. This was one of a handful of songs that would inspire us to put the hammer down, our foot in the carburetor so to speak.

[@ToddSauve]

Yup! Right to the floor and into the engine compartment! Ha, ha! We were awfully wild sometimes back in the good old days! 😎😎😎

[@dagmar.6954]

Randy Bachman was part of The Guess Who & then went on to form BTO. Both were great Canadian rock bands. BTO had a lot of great songs in the 70's such as "Takin' Care Of Business", "Hey You", "Lookin' Out For #1" etc.

[@randlnickel9196]

Emerson ,Lake and Palmer tried to recrute Randy. He turned them down

[@richardburdon3241]

he left The Guess Who because of the drug use by the band members. Randy is a strict Mormon and didn't want to be around it.

[@thomascerulli8013]

Guys this is off their Not Fragile Album. I’ve still got my original copy. It was an Iconic 70’s albums. This is my personal fav from that album. And yea it’s a check your speed on the Highway Song. It’s so cool seeing you youngins rockin out to the soundtrack of my life ❤️

[@gandalf679]

"Our music sure did and still does...ROCK!!! and I too, Sir, have my original copy, bought it at Woolworth's, got most of my original albums still, but don't play them any more, I'm trying to hang on to them as long as possible, I've got "digital" of alot of my albums on it, but, it's not really the same sometimes...Rock ON!

[@thomascerulli8013]

Woolworths, Lol I got mine at Korvettes. I think we’re showing our age. Keep Rockin Brother 😎

[@zincalloy2213]

Givin It All Away - sensational song - RIP Robbie Backman - 😢

[@mr.bluebird6544]

Bought my vinal, which I still have, at Grants on Route 32.

[@donaldwillis2267]

I literally have not heard this song in forty years easily. Thanks, guys.

[@randy8297]

But I knew it instantly.

[@jamiewilson3599]

Mid-70s Canadian teen boy here. BTO and Rush were the TWO major bands of the day. Rush was intellectual and progressive. BTO was working-class rock gods. Dive deeper and BTO won't disappoint.

[@WaynePalmer-pd2rr]

I was at school and we crossed the Ambassador Bridge to Detroit because BTO was in town. They were a a very big deal . It was like they were set up for arena rock. You had to see the entire wall was amps and speakers. At the time that much volume was unheard of. It was so loud it hurt.. but we loved it. You felt the thump as much as heard it. And this song in particular was written to be loud and hard. Everything was 50% more than anything that preceded it. It was visceral. The hysteria and the loud was AC/DC before arena rock became a thing. This was ground breaking. Fred Turner's voice was loud in its own right but through those amps and those speakers it was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think. In its own way the best concert..ever.

[@johnsmith0007]

This band was so good and sadly they can easily be forgotten when talking about the great bands of the day.

[@ericfoster9343]

THANK YOU! Love your reactions. BEING OPEN MINDED ALLOWS US TO GROW.!

[@frankmonteleone5325]

"...times real short, and the distance is long. I'd like to have a jet, but it's not in the song....." One of the most overlooked, brilliant lines of song lyrics ever written in rock history.

[@ewetoobblowzdogg8410]

Saw Randy Bachman playing along with Felix Cavaliere (Rascals), John Entwistle (Who), Billy Preston (need no intro) who were backing Ringo Starr and his All Star Band. It didn't suck.

[@jethro1963]

Burton Cummings also did a stint with the All Star Band.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you would like their “Hey You” for your 5th BTO song!

[@rghilino6734]

One of the songs that defines what rock sounds like.

[@fuiplu]

Rest in peace Robbie Bachman. A phenomenal drummer, and co founder of this legendary band.

[@jerickson725]

I listened to every song on this album often when I was a kid (maybe 10?) because my older sister had the album and played it a lot! It reminds me of fun and good times. I am so glad I got to grow up in the 70's with some of the best music ever!

[@SteveSmith-uo5ug]

Saw them in the late 70’s in Dallas. They opened for Foghat. BTO about took over the show.

[@darlatidwell6255]

I was going to our nearest big city to shop and this song came on the radio. I noticed that when a nice vehicle would roll past us, the beat in this song made it look more badass like the wheels rolling in perfect time. Then I noticed, big trucks, even ugly cars looked cooler. So definitely a good song for "rolling down the highway."

[@vernhoke7730]

Another one from my 8-Track case back on the seventies. This would get into trouble when you were rolling down the highway and it came on. Something about that right pushing down and staying down.

[@rossdownes4240]

Great top 20 song for this Canadian band from 1975.

[@RM-ks8pp]

Nice reaction. BTO is so good, many great tracks. Brings back memories when I was stationed at Peterson Field, Colorado Springs rolling down the road in my 70 SS Chevelle and 69 RS Camaro...

[@AsiaandBJ]

Cool!

[@joelliebler5690]

Some big hits from this band back in the early 1970’s. Randy Bachman was an original member of The Canadian band The Guess Who

[@scottdarden3091]

This and Golden Ear Rings "Radar Love" are two of my favorites to crank all the way up and cruise down the road.

[@richardfalcon6033]

47 years ago today I saw BTO in Houston. I bought my ticket at the door and walked up to the stage. REO Speedwagon opened up for them. I saw so many of these bands from that time period that you react to. It was so great to see and hear so much great music.

[@shannonbennett987]

This song makes you wanna go get on the highway and drive, drive, drive! Rollin'! Good one, y'all.

[@ToddSauve]

Many a speeding ticket was acquired whilst listening to this song!

[@windinthefirtrees8020]

Took me back to 1975!! Our graduating class favorite band!!!

[@davidkessinger1581]

My favorite driving song in my youth.

[@DanielWorkmanResearch]

Some great guitar riffs from Randy Bachman & team!

[@metalmark1214]

A good song for on a road trip. Also check out Hey You.

[@TonyM1961]

Definitely one of my "get a ticket" songs. Thank God for cruise control

[@duanemcfate3119]

1981 BTO opens for UFO in San Bernardino swing auditorium great concert ✌️

[@ws3764]

This is the type of band, If you heckled them on stage, they'd stop playing, kick your ass, then finish the set.

[@rossmacintosh5652]

Or at least they looked like they would.

[@fuiplu]

Damn straight

[@k_salter]

My favorite song by BTO! It's on almost all my playlists, or always had the CD in my car, or the album on the stereo. Enjoyed your reaction, guys!

[@xtappaloosa]

Love you two thanks for being musically well rounded, I used to listen to this on an 8 track tape going a hundred miles an hour in my hot rod

[@ToddSauve]

You do realize that the term "8 track" fates you, eh? LOL! Me too! 💘🎸😏😎

[@Cyndi7021]

This brings back memories of driving with the top down, wind blowin’ thru your hair and great music playing.

[@cosmopolit670]

as a young german boy at the age of 14 i got contact in 1976 to the music of bto for the first time. Since then i joined the music and the wonderful rocky rollin Sound of the Band. especially i like the strong voice of fred Turner, the hardest in music buisiness. please Stay healthy and Go on randy and fred, youre are huge Not great.

[@mars856]

Thanks for this. As a kid growing up in Canada, we grew up with BTO. Been awhile, brings back some great memories. Here's another Road classic you may want to have a listen to from that time also. Remember the Dutch band Golden Earing?. They formed a year before the Rolling Stones. Their end finally came in 2021 as their founding band member was diagnosed with ALS. The song was "Radar Love". Check it out.

[@WhatAboutThemApples]

1:46 Time's real short and you know the distance is long. I like to have a jet, but it's not in the song. Probably one of my favorite lyrics ever

[@myownchannel247]

I’m pretty sure it’s a sin not having this old tune on your road trip playlist 😆 Let It Ride next by BTO

[@briangray7273]

This whole album rocks, it was the first one of theirs I ever bought. Sledge Hammer is a killer tune.

[@williamcooper5009]

“Time’s real short, you know the distance is long.”

[@flash1660]

My favorite BTO SONG is Blue Collar it is unique

[@MARKB3946]

YES---- definitely rolling down the highway music blaring....😎

[@mrnobody9104]

Fred Turner and Leslie West give me the same vibe vocally!!!! Gritty

[@jamesdamiano8894]

Great driving song too rock out! Also check out Takin' Care Of Business and You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, the best studder song next to My Generation from The Who.

[@robertwalker1803]

Glad you got to this one…they were great rockers.Hitmakers who went from a great group Guess Who to them…

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

This was definitely a skating rink song when I was little. Love BTO!

[@anthonyblakely399]

BTO Never put out a bad song!!! Always on point!!!! And one of the most underrated Rock bands in music and one of the most popular ones at the same time!!!! Love them!!! I know when they did a concert at Raleigh Fields in Sacramento in 2006...the OG's toe it up!!! Had all of us jumping up and down.....they're soooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!

[@garygagnon5057]

Great Canadian band, they made us proud.

[@frogsterjonesiii6482]

I saw BTO in Detroit in 1987 at Harpos. They were backing up Van Halen at Joe Louis Arena the same night. Went to Harpos later to headline. What a hard working band!

[@Ritaholden1]

BTO what a great band !! So many good times to take you on down that road.

[@amoco14]

Randy Bachman was also in The Guess Who before he Created Bachman Turner Overdrive.

[@arthurdrake3274]

Fred Turner. 😁💯❤❤❤🔥

[@davidphillips4476]

This was a GREAT road trip song!!!! I'm sure it caused some speeding tickets during it's heyday LOL. You said it, got me!!!

[@AsiaandBJ]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@lindat6910]

70s Best era ever! I loved living through it.

[@danielcraig3987]

Listened to them for endless hours one of the great bands of the seventies try home in my hand or not fragile love you two

[@Motownmike73]

BTO Was BAD ASS IN The 70’S!! Great Reaction Peace n Love To you Both!! An Asia Your Beautiful

[@jimklipper6022]

Northern Illinois University. ‘Happy Hour’ at one of DeKalb, Illinois favorite ‘watering holes’. This blasting on the juke box. Those were the Days.

[@wadstur8429]

We had so much fun driving around town listening and drinking to stuff like this on the weekends. BTO !!

[@reality1958]

My first concert was these guys. I was 17…1975

[@amoco14]

I love BTO, Awesome Song.

[@amrak5028]

BTO Will Kick the Building Down

[@j.l.armendariz1483]

Randy Bachman also was in The Guess WHO!

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

What a voice!!! Fred Turner. Randy Bachman, too. Among the best in rock. Yes, this song Could make you drive faster, lol, I know it has me. Especially when the top is down on my Mustang. Good thing for radar detector and laser shift 🤣 Oh ya.....

[@davidkessinger1581]

Heck, when this song was popular, I drove a '72 Ford Maverik and it made me feel like I was in a Corvette. I had 3 BTO 8-Tracks in my car at all times.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

@@davidkessinger1581 I had a '71 Ford Torino back in the day. My 2003 Mustang may not be amongst the Mustang "elite" but it's a convertible and I enjoy every Wisconsin summer moment with the top down.

[@kustomdeluxe8489]

Rock Is My Life and This Is My Song is another good one from BTO.

[@ballsyrocker]

Randy Bachman on hot guitar would next become half the writing team of The Guess Who with Burton Cummings. Dig that! Canadian groups.

[@timwirasnik5878]

This whole Album ( Not fragile) is just AWESOME!

[@flexjay87]

I was in high school when this came out. I used to listen to this song on the way to first period class, so i did not need any Caffeine in those days. Added to that, we would listen to Ted Nugent, and The WHO before class, yeah, those were the days !

[@randytorres8211]

Per Wikipedia Turner and Randy Bachman had originally been contracted by Ford to write a song for the automotive company's commercials, but Ford never picked up any of their compositions. Robbie Bachman later helped develop one of Turner's ideas into a Top 20 hit. "Roll on Down the Highway" peaked at No. 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on March 1, 1975. It reached No. 8 on the Cash Box Top 100 singles, and No. 4 on the Canadian RPM chart, and gave the band their second - and final - hit in the United Kingdom, reaching No. 22 in the UK Singles Chart.

[@judithporter1551]

Best music ever. Fun to dance to ❤

[@nothingheremovealong6751]

There are two men, and two men only, to have written and recorded two number one records in two different groups... Paul McCartney in The Beatles and Wings, and Randy Bachman, in The Guess Who and BTO...

[@evenflowsteven]

I remember seeing BTO when they opened for Van Halen. I’m so old.

[@lisalaursen3684]

Another good song choice. BTO had so many great hits. Hope you guys will check out their song Hey You. Probably my fav 🔥

[@toddstevens13]

Thanks so much for doing the Long Version instead of the "Single" version. So how about something a little different with the title track from the album this was on "Not Fragile". More of Turner's growling vocals ahead.

[@zq9m3xh8]

This is off their album "Not Fragile" which is a terrific rock album!

[@89801wink]

Me in my 500hp '72 Nova, my buddy in his "67 GTO heading for concerts side by side at 120mph handing beers from car to car. How are we still alive? Lol

[@williamweiss6128]

Good summer time music. Miss those days..70's

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thanks for listening

[@DanielFrost21]

Other great "highway" songs are: 1) "Rockin' Down The Highway" by The Doobie Brothers 2) "Highway Song" by Blackfoot 3) "Ventura Highway" by America

[@muratomar6502]

My University time, they're great musicians

[@Nonconformistwilderbeastman]

I've rolled down the highway before, two knees holding the wheel steady with two hands Rollin' ,if y'all know what I mean 😉

[@hankarmentrout6697]

This the type of song that’ll get you a speeding ticket JUST AS BJ said it

[@wright1776]

Awwww awesome when i was in Junior high!!

[@blackwolf6082]

I was in highschool when this song was released

[@ansy139]

If you want to hear their true scope, listen next to Blue Collar. Their masterpiece, and who would have thought those rockers could make some great jazz? Far more complex musically and lyrically than their other songs. Looking Out For #1 is another wonderful deviation from their typical sound, but I'd say Blue Collar first.

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Sad that you didn't do one of the many "live" versions of this. You really need to see Fred Turner singing this live.

[@bobdelp2023]

JUST ANOTHER B.T.O. BANGERRRRR GUYS!!!😊

[@patswanson2870]

Fred Turner is the lead vocalist on this song.

[@ked7426]

First time hearing awesome, reminded me of going down the autobahn in my cousins porsche, an awesome experience. You could also play this song when you want to let something go. 🤗

[@AsiaandBJ]

Very cool!

[@michellefranco5648]

Love that Canadian swaggeri🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@alanpeterson4939]

That’s a throwback to my high school days

[@desireestevens]

A party in your head. I like that!!!

[@dannycasson1551]

This such a fun group.The first concert I ever attended. I think they’re talking about the trucking business.

[@MrTech226]

I heard that Randy Bachman returns to play with his former bandmate, Burton Cummings on tour. Bachman & Cummings are the founders of The Guess Who before Randy left the band to form Bachman Turner Overdrive

[@timothyherring3211]

When I won a feildgoal contest at a bar during the halftime show ( when Norwood missed the kick versus Dallas Cowboys) I could of went to Slayer , but instead I chose to see Bachman Turner Overdrive "BTO" . Great music to party with, fun fun fun.

[@beverlybrown2673]

Road trip anthem!

[@waynedickson6860]

The song chugs along like it's a semi transport truck.

[@Phelps-1247]

This song has helped me overcome my anxiety and depression sooo many times.

[@kevinlundgren1169]

Just wait until you hear ROCK IS MY LIFE AND THIS IS MY SONG , , or NOT FRAGILE !!!! BTO has a bunch of cool tunes ,,, SLEDGEHAMMER ,,, a bunch of cool tunes !!!
