LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-DEC 9, 2019…IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE FORTY SIX YEARS AGO BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE RELEASED THE ALBUM ‘BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE II.’ THE ALBUM WAS POWERED BY TWO HUGE SINGLES ‘LET IT RIDE’ AND ‘TAKIN’ CARE OF BUSINESS’ AND HIT # 4 ON BILLBOARD’S “TOP 100 ALBUM” CHART, TO DATE SELLING OVER 2 MILLION COPIES. THE BAND WAS COMPRISED OF GUITARIST RANDY BACHMAN (WHO WAS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS WORK WITH THE GUESS WHO) ALONG WITH BACHMAN’S BROTHERS TIM ON GUITAR AND ROB ON DRUMS. BASSIST FRED TURNER ROUNDED OUT THE GROUP. THE GROUP WAS ALSO KNOWN AT “BTO” AS MANY PEOPLE SHORTENED THE BAND’S NAME. CRUELLY, BECAUSE ALL THE MEMBERS WERE ON THE HEAVY SIDE, SOME REFERRED TO THEM AS “MEN WITHOUT NECKS.” THIS IS BTO WITH ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST HITS FROM ‘BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE II’
