But only if you put ALL YOUR TRUST IN HIM AND IN HIM ALONEI have so much peace knowing I'm going to be in Heaven with him and so can you don't have to go to Hell for ever. we all deserve Hell. But he nailed all our sins to the cross If you put all your trust in him and in him ALONE. This is the best news you will ever hear.

Randy Bachman is still a class act. On Mothers Day, he offered this Twitter message: "Happy Mother's Day today to all of you who care for others. There are all sorts of ways to mother that are not related to biology or bloodlines. So for all of you who help and nurture, be good to yourself and know that you matter and your influence makes a difference. My own mother paved the way for my success in so many ways."

This band was the first rock concert I ever went to, August 28th, 1974, at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto. It was a long time ago but I still remember how good they were. Randy Bachman was one of the members of The Guess Who before leaving to start BTO. I saw him play with Burton Cummings last summer and he can still play a mean guitar for a man pushing 80.

[@darkrider68]

BTO are Canadian icons. I didn't catch the name of the first song you reacted to but they got a good catalogue for you to dig into.

Randy learn some guitar from Lenny breau and went on to form the Guess Who with Burton Cummings.. another band you should definitely check out if you haven't already.👍 . From BTO, Taking Care of Business. Four-wheel Drive and for some of Randy's Jazz influences from Lenny, checkout Blue Collar. As for the Guess Who, These Eyes, and No Sugar are two that come to mind. As always, keep up the good work.🍻🇨🇦

Later that day we got a guitar lesson from the amazing Jennifer Batten on 'tapping techniques' at the Music West Conference. What a great day!... Still lot's of untapped tunes from these guys. 'Let it Ride' might be my favorite of them you can check out but they had a lot of hit songs. Randy Bachman came from one of Canada's Top Bands called 'The Guess Who' and after they split he formed a short lived band called 'Ironhorse', check out 'Ironhorse - Symphony' or 'Ironhorse - What's Your Hurry Darling'.

BTO is often ranked in the top five of Canada's greatest music groups, becoming one of my home country's first genuine rock bands. Often collaborating with The Guess Who, they are immortal souls in the Great White North. You'd be hard-pressed to listen to a Canadian rock station without hearing these guys. Y'all need to hear "Taking Care of Business" and "Let It Ride". BTO is one rare band where pretty much the entire band has stayed together, with no messy break-ups or grandiose disputes. BTO was all about rocking, and this song shows it. You guys keep on rocking, Rob Squad!

[@paulcwalina7910]

I think this one is their best. Great guitar riff. High energy. Another of their hits in the same vein as this one is 'Let It Ride.' If you like 'Let It Roll On Down the Highway' I think you'll enjoy 'Let It Ride.'

There you go: Winnipeg's rockingest! "Takin' Care of Business" and "Let it Ride" are big hits, but "Not Fragile" and "She's a Devil" are album tracks that deserved the airplay they once received.

[@briangray7273]

They have so many great songs. You should do Wild Spirit and Sledgehammer just to name a few. A few other good ones are Don't Get Yourself In Trouble, Stay Awake All Night and Take It Like A Man ( which Little Richard plays keyboard on.)

[@billschwener2283]

There are so many deep cuts to this band and they're all great! Blown, Gimme Your Money Please, Stonegates, Don't Let the Blues Get You Down and so many more!

[@jimcrossan1312]

The first nighttime concert we drove to ourselves after I got my driver’s license back in 19-yada yada!” My best pal Kevin said he thought they’d open with this one, and they did and it was amazing! This is one band that sounds exactly the same live as they did on the records…great in concert…

[@erictreasure9000]

You made my day reacting to this one! Vocalist on this song is the bassist Fred Turner, who's definitely got a lot more power in his pipes than Randy Bachman. If you want to do a BTO deep dive, may I suggest Gimme Your Money Please, Sledgehammer, or Away From Home? So much good stuff from this band.

[@proudliberal605]

Best tune by this band is "Gimmee Your Money Please". Actually, their best performance ever is when they were part of "The Guess Who" in the album "Live at the Paramount".

[@edlocker6074]

Yes, "Gimme your money please" is another example of Fred Turners gravelly voice. Great tune, check it out!

[@russallert]

Randy had left The Guess Who by the time of Live At The Paramount, and his replacement was Kurt Winter. But that album is definitely The Guess Who at their best.

[@proudliberal605]

@@russallert Are you sure? I believe "Live at the Paramount" was recorded in 1971. I suppose I'm gonna have to look it up.

[@nativetexan9776]

Now the Bass player, Fred Turner, is lead singer on this one. Randy Bachman was lead on You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.

[@diceportz7107]

In the later 70s, there was no one bigger than BTO. Every bar band covered them, every jukebox had them on their play list and everyone danced to them. I just can't stress enough how big they were.

[@jvsmith7888]

This song is a real rocker and was a pretty big hit for them. Hard to believe their record company didn't think this song had hit potential. The gravelly voiced guy is C.F. Turner, the Turner part of Bachman Turner Overdrive.

[@pamnicklas5536]

My brother used to sing this song to the family parrot...they would sing Roll...roll...roll...together! 😆

[@Claudia-zu9wu]

Yessss definitely next "Let it Ride" and "Takin' Care of Business" for sure! Awesome jams by BTO!!!

[@oldmanghost219]

Randy Bachman - Was from the Guess Who - These Eyes - was their 1st big hit. and after that the RCA company wanted another ballad but they wanted to do rock. As explained in the medley - ( Bachman Cummings - These Eyes, Laughing, Undun & No time.) on KZbin - After a string of hits , Randy moved on to Bachman Turner Overdrive and now you are getting more of the rock.

i am canadian. i grew up withthese guys. glad you found BTO and randy b.

[@reality1958]

My very first concert was BTO 50 years ago. They rocked the house

[@debbieplato5107]

Fred Turner on vocals here. 🎉 Other Songs Not Fragile Taking Care of Business Blue Collar You Ain't seen nothing yet. BTO are fro. my hometown of Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@qtrhors1]

That twin lead trade off guitar solo is the greatest of the 70's. Seen them in 76. Heart and Head East opened...what a concert. I had all of BTO albums in high school.

[@user-ov1fn3zn9g]

I've seen these guys a few times but most memorable was an out door concert in Montreal in 1976. One of the best concerts I've been. Just saw Randy Bachman at a concert in my home town in the interior of BC. Pretty small venue but he was awesome. Played all the BTO classics & a couple of Guess Who songs. Talented musician.

[@hondaphan4172]

My all-time favorite BTO tune is Sledgehammer which was on their great Not Fragile album which was released in the mid-70's. Me and my neighborhood buddies would blast it on my parents' old console stereo in our basement....we wore out the grooves on that album. BTO and Bad Company were my early favorites and then Boston and Foreigner hit the scene during my junior year of high school.

[@bobbailey8282]

I love Jay's "stank face" when Randy Bachman hits that string of high notes.

[@gtrgar4561]

Excellent choice for today. Looking forward to more songs from BTO! "Roll on Down the Highway" was written by Fred Turner and Robbie Bachman (RIP). It came from writing sessions for a Ford commercial that didn't work out for the band. Fred and Robbie worked on one of the songs from that session into "Roll on Down the Highway". 🎸😎

[@supobostarman]

BTO is some great early 70s guitar rock!!! I got some speeding tickets back in tbe day in my muscle car with BTO blasting theough the speakers!!! Oh yes! Miss those days. You gotta hear more BTO!!!
