Bachman-Turner Overdrive: C.F Turner (vocals, bass); Randy Bachman, Tim Bachman (guitars, background vocals); Rob Bachman (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Barry Keane (congas). Recorded at RCA Studios, Toronto, Canada. BTO's debut album didn't generate any hit singles (although several of its songs went on to become concert staples when the band's popularity soared), and in general it's a little low key compared to its successors. However, it established the band's basic template; populist, blues-based arena rock in the manner of the Rolling Stones, Humble Pie and certain Southern bands, leavened occasionally with a goofy sense of humor. Notable tracks here include "Gimme Your Money Please," an effective Stones-ish account of a mugging; "Blue Collar," a jazzy change of pace that gives guitarist/leader Randy Bachman the chance to show off his best Les Paul and Wes Montgomery licks; "Hold Back the Water," whose solo section has a disco beat (years before it was fashionable), anticipating the '80s work of Z.Z. Top; and the concluding "Thank You For the Feeling," a blatant but nonetheless enjoyable rewrite of the Stones live version of "Sympathy For the Devil."
