Bachman-Turner Overdrive specialized in hooky hard rock, delivering frills-free heavy music designed for the long haul. Many B.T.O. songs were about the business of being in a rock & roll band, playing their tunes to a new crowd in a new city each night, a trait that underscored how they seemed like the quintessential working band of the early 1970s: they held no higher aspiration than rocking hard and loud, both on record and stage. Despite being led by Randy Bachman, one of the two main frontmen of the Canadian rock stars the Guess Who, it took Bachman-Turner Overdrive a little while to find an audience. They didn't strike paydirt until the choogling "Takin' Care of Business" -- which notably has a punchline about being in a rock & roll band -- rocketed into the American Top 20 in 1974, an achievement eclipsed by the buoyant "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" reaching number one weeks later. Although B.T.O. managed a couple of other subsequent hits in "Roll on Down the Highway" and "Hey You," those two hits were not only an attraction in the '70s, but they formed an enduring legacy for the band. Over the years, "Takin' Care of Business" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" were classic rock perennials heard on the radio, television, and at sporting events, their omnipresence helping keep Bachman-Turner Overdrive on the road in various incarnations all the way through their 50th anniversary in 2023.
