We didn't just have musicians, we truly had artists. No computers, no auto tune, just pure talent with a message. The lyrics are so often just kinda allowed to just wash over people who don't take any time to truly LISTEN to what they are saying. I admit to having done it some myself when I was a teen, but I started coming around in early 20s. I miss those much simpler times

[@proudliberal605]

Young folks can't even begin to comprehend the socialization norms of those times. No internet. No mobile phones. You meet up with folks of all types at popular gathering places. Face to face. You inherently trust them because kindness was the norm, not the exception. You follow them to their apartment. You rifle through the stacks of record albums that they have resting on the floor, leaned against the wall. Rows and rows of them. You quickly dismiss the ones you already own, searching for the interesting ones you haven't heard yet. You pluck two or three out and set them by the turntable. The bong is brought out. The room becomes hazy. You get lost into music that you are hearing for the first time. It becomes a spiritual shared experience. You write down a couple of album titles that you want to add to your personal collection. You add the name and number of the new friend that you have just made. You will ultimately recall people by the music that you first shared. The forementioned sequence WAS COMMON. A life without anonymity, without hiding behind a keyboard, means a life where reputation is EVERYTHING. The wrong perceptions equal lost social opportunities. Conversely, if you condition yourself to anonymous cynicism, it can't help but to eventually reveal itself in direct encounters. Back then, I didn't know any lonely, bitter people. I'm sure they existed. I just didn't know any.

[@TonyM1961]

@@proudliberal605 You are quite correct. I did that exact scenario more than once. At no time did I have a bad experience or "get jumped". The idea never even crossed my mind. Times have changed my friend and not for the better

[@franscott3122]

​@@proudliberal605 That is how we discovered bands that were not getting air play for whatever reason. Too old, too new, Songs too long, or not not the right genre. I discovered The Fabulous thunderbirds, Bob Marley, The Funkadelics, and Kansas among others. Getting stoned sifting through stacks of vinyl in relative stranger's homes.

[@proudliberal605]

@@franscott3122 It is why music is so extremely important to our generation. Our culture was centered around it. Our socialization was dependent upon it. Rock n Roll on vinyl had the equivalent cultural impact of the mobile social media device of today. Imagine a modern teenager without their mobile device. That is the equivalent level of social dependency that Rock n Roll on vinyl possessed. Jay and Amber might occasionally wonder why a music reaction channel can harbor nearly a half million subscribers. It is entirely because they have tapped into the relatively extinct social networking of boomers. Our social interaction was watching "in person" music reactions. You can read the discussions in the comments section, and they sound similar to our conversations way back when. Favorite guitarist, best drummer, favorite album, "You gotta hear this one", child prodigies, "I used to know the drummer for....", etc, etc. It was real a social achievement to "turn someone on" to a band they had not heard before. We are doing this with Jay and Amber. We are vicariously reliving our young adult life through their reactions. They cannot begin to imagine the significance of this.

[@marcbennetts216]

Totally agree with you Tony! Life was so much better then! People were nicer, the music was fantastic. Everyone seemed to get along otherwise you ignored the other ones. No isolation since there were no cell phones, internet. You just went out and made friends with experiences in life.

[@Rickhorse1]

It's funny. I'm a big BTO fan from way back & like everyone, I loved their rocking guitar driven upbeat stuff. But Blue Collar was SO different from their normal style...I absolutely loved it then...and even more now.

To me this is jazz with an interurban bluesy undertone. I picture myself in the middle of the night, looking out through my balcony door at the distant city lights, feeling those sultry avant garde vibes wash over my soul like a wave.

[@dongange]

Randy B learned his craft at the foot of the great Lenny Breau in Winnipeg, for me the bluesy jazz style of his work on this track seems to be a tip of the cap to his mentor. Imagine seeing Randy B & Neil Young hanging together watching Lenny Breau at a small club in a small city in the middle of the country. What a time the 60s must’ve been

[@daveowens9849]

If you liked this song by BTO, you'll love "Lookin' Out for #1". Their entire "Head On" album was a nice change of pace for them and one of my favorite albums.

[@travis8981]

Taking Care Of Business, Let It Ride, Hey You, She’s A Devil, Four Wheel Drive, Won’t You Take Me, these are just some of their best songs you need to check out, all of them are awesome!

Randy Bachman really showing his jazz chops here. Just an iconic guitar player, so many classic songs!

[@guichogf5636]

Not Fragile is one of my favorite BTO songs, great bassline, awesome guitars, Turners voice and Robbie's drums driving the song. That whole album is gold, from the title song Not Fragile to the last one, Giving it all away, which is unexpected the first time you hear it.

Can You Get to That is a single off of the album Maggot Brain that must be reacted to.

Randy Bachman was the original guitar player for The Guess Who, (probably Canada's first big Rock Band). He co-wrote the hit song, "American Woman". I saw BTO at their height of their popularity, in 1975. What a concert.

[@luvutons411]

[@fscottgray9784]

You ain't seen nothing yet and Takin care of business are two of their biggest hits. Randy Bachman is one of my favorite guitarist of all time. They have a concert from the Roseland Ballroom when they are older that has many of their hits played live.

[@luvutons411]

Definitely fantastic. It was great to see Fred Turner still growlin' out them tunes..👍

That's really unfortunate. I heard the song occasionally on FM back in the 70s. Not my very fave BTO track, but I always liked it. Too jazzy, not very rockin, I guess for many, but just as good as their best hits.

BTO was more than just their hits, which everyone knew! Two more you need to hear... one like this song shows the jazzy side of the band... try "Lookin'Out For #1" (I actually think it's even better!) and then try "Rock Is My Life, And This Is My Song"! Killer! A couple lesser known gems from their last album before the first breakup, "Freeways", are "Shotgun Rider" and "My Wheels Won't Turn"....Randy at his best vocally and just cool songs!

I used to work night shift at a machine shop back in the 80s and this was our unofficial song. I almost miss those days just for that.

[@technomikelyons]

If you like BTO you might also like another Canadian band, Trooper. They had hits such as the upbeat and light "We're Here For A Good Time", the soft ballads like "Oh Pretty Lady", and rockers like "Boys In The Bright White Sports Car" and "Raise A Little Hell".

Good Morning! Nice way to start the morning with my hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada.

[@jethro1963]

Before leaving for Vancouver, Terry Jacks was there for the nascent Winnipeg scene. Joey Gregorash was there, Lenny Breau during this time moved there. Most of the Guess Who replacements were from Winnipeg bands (Kurt Winter, Greg Leskiw, Donnie McDougall, Bill Wallace). Not to forget Fred Turner and Chad Allan who were there. Famed child entertainer Fred Penner was on the scene then. Maybe growing up they were influenced by the fame of the greatest Canadian entertainer of all time Gisele MacKenzie and realized if she could do it so could they.

Oh man! I had completely forgotten about this song. It was one of my absolute favorites BTO songs. Very much a jazz influence. In the echoey section of the middle guitar solo I love the effect created by making the original note quiet and in one ear and then the first echo very prominent and in the opposite ear and the second echo back in the first ear and quieter again. The jazz breakdown at the end brings me back to my childhood where my parents would bring me to jazz parties with about 30 jazz musicians and there would be jams and sit ins of amazing jazz and blues songs all night. Thank you for doing this song. On another note, please get back to some classic Chicago with the song "Introduction". It's the first song from the first Chicago album and you will go crazy about it.

(side story: I was crushed when the sign on the recycle box at my job that said "Graveyard Rejects" was changed to "Overnight Mistakes". How dull.) When you said it sounded bluesy I thought, "Feels more Jazzy to me, with a little Santana vibe" then reconsidered, "Blues like Texas Blues has Flamenco and Jazz/Swing influences" For some Texas Blues other than ZZ Top or Stevie Ray Vaughn; I recommend Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, "I've Got My Mojo Workin'".

Randy Bachman (guitar) is considered the star of the band, having starred in The Guess Who before this, but this track really showcases bass player Fred Turner, who wrote and sang it. The drums are by Robbie Bachman, Randy's brother. Obvious choices: "Let It Ride" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet." I also note that this song is 50 years old, released in 1973, and I say hit the forgotten classics from that year, in honor of that anniversary. Like the pre-Stevie Nicks version of Fleetwood Mac. then led by Christine McVie and Bob Welch. Try "Why" or "Hypnotized". Bob Seger is determined to pretend he started his career in 75, but that's a fib. I think he was better BEFORE the Silver Bullet Band. For 1973 Bob, we can start with the beautiful "I've Got Time". And let's close with a song I've requested several times before, also marking its 50th anniversary: "The Grove of Eglantine" by Styx. (Pardon the random, that's just my mood.)

[@piedmontish]

Wow! I’ve never heard that from them! (I am the goof that keeps recommending “let it ride“ do you guys!). The intro portion reminded me of Wes Montgomery (a fabulous guitarist, who was jazz, and was magnificent!) But to me, it all fits in jazz genre, even though pace picked up, and it was electrified. Besides Mr. Montgomery, I may suggest Dave Brubeck “take five“ just to get you understand the differences. I’m sure your great subscribers have more suggestions and can clarify any points.

I remember driving through drippy, misty nights with this song on the radio 📻. Liked the Jazz kick at the end! Thank you. 😊 Smile right here on my face. For something completely different from them try "Not Fragile "

Bachman Turner Overdrive is a beast of a band. Love just driving around town, listening to them cycle through my player in my car. Maybe next we could hear the fireworks 🎆 of Grand Funk Railroad and their hit, FOOTSTOMPING MUSIC. Nothing like it. And speaking of the Doors, MOONLIGHT DRIVE is due for reaction. Enjoy

This is my favourite BTO song. The guitar work is amazing.

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Ahhhhhh yezz indeed. True rock and roll! 👍👍🤟🤟

[@TheBruceGday]

Hey there are a bunch of awesome BTO songs to check out! I might suggest “Taking Care of Business.” Also as a fun twist to get you back into the 90s scene, try Tal Bachman, the son of Randy Bachman, nephew of Robbie Bachman of BTO. Tal Bachman hit it with one big song in the 90’s, “She’s So High Above Me!”

As you liked this one, check out Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings band The Guess Who and their hit Undun for another jazzy vibe.

Most underrated band ever

[@surrealestate06]

Give "Lookin' Out for Number 1" as well.

[@dannelson4209]

This song is very much the flavor of the 'Guess Who' back in the day when Randy Bachman was with Burton Cummings.

[@teresatorres8540]

I loved these guys because they were not typical pretty boys the looked like regular men they could have been a brother or just the dudes who lived in your town and talented way beyond that Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman need I say more the music stands the test of time.

Randy Bachman is a very underrated guitarist. Fred Turner a very underrated vocalist.

Looking out for No. 1 . Another jazzy great.

I saw BTO back in the day. What an awesome show that was. I have always enjoyed their music.

[@krishosner1850]

Love this album and this song ! You guys would really like a song of theirs called " Not Fragile" . What I really like about BTO is all the songs sound different from each other ! You guys are doing a fantastic job, I really love your vibe🎉 keep it up !❤

As a person who grew up in Vancouver , Canada which is where BTO made their mark in the 1970's, there were so many good acts soon to follow. Bryan Adams, Loverboy plus many great local talents. The one talent I believe that Jay would love to hear is Gerry Doucette an incredible songwriter, guitarist who's song "Mama Let Him Play" is a Canadian all time classic hit. Love Blue Collar, their song, "Looking Out for Number One" has a similar feeling.

[@luvutons411]

Actually remember Doucette too. Also grew up in Vancouver...👍🎤🎸🇨🇦

[@paulmorris8762]

one of the best bluesy smoky jazz tunes ever

[@jvsmith7888]

"Find Out About Love" and "Hold Back the Water", two great ones.
