Biography
Bachman-Turner Overdrive, often shortened to BTO, is a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, formed in 1973 by Randy Bachman with Fred Turner and brothers Tim and Robbie Bachman. Their hard-driving boogie rock produced the 1970s hits 'Takin' Care of Business', 'Let It Ride' and the American number one 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet', from the chart-topping 1974 album 'Not Fragile' on #Mercury Records#. After numerous line-up changes and a 2023 revival led by Randy Bachman, the band remains a classic rock staple and a Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee.
