9. Givin’ It All Away
“Big in the 70s, BTO was a musical force to be reckoned with. Randy Bachman, along with Burton Cummings founded The Guess Who before Randy went his own musical direction. I had the good fortune to see Bachman Turner Overdrive in concert and it was one of the best concerts I’d ever seen.”
8. Blue Moanin’
“Frank Trowbridge also provides an excellent slide guitar lesson on “Blue Moanin'”. Excellent riff rock but even better phrasing and bending make this a lead guitarist’s candy store.”
7. Free Wheelin’
“BTO was such an underrated band that in hindsight it is a crime that so many knuckleheads have taken shots at them. This album “Not Fragile” is the most popular record of their catalog and as seven of the nine tracks found here were featured on AM and FM radio stations everywhere.this record is almost a greatest hits collection on it’s own.”

6. Roll On Down the Highway
“This album was put together as good as it gets IMO, Great art, good lyrical content, songs that have identity and instantly recognizable riffs, good production. I’ve read almost everyone above has a fond memory to share, as I’ve come to acquire the album for my own I find myself agreeing with the previous reviewers who mention how underrated an album this is.”
5. Not Fragile
“The way it feels when you crank up the first song “Not Fragile” prepares you for what is soon to follow. Thunderous bass and drums. Howling guitars. Strong vocals. The epitome of what one would call heavy. No mistaking the intent of Bachman and company to prove that there were other bands besides Zeppelin that could deliver this strong of a punch song after song.”
4. Rock Is My Life, and This Is My Song
“There are so many great songs off this album that it is not even funny. This is easily the best album of 1974. Guitarist Blair Thorton is now in the lineup. Along with Randy Bachman, Bachman Turner Overdrive has two guitarists who can play rythem and lead guitar. “

3. You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
“BTO’s “Not fragile” is a real hard rocking effort but still rather melodic. The album was released in 1974 and includes the major hit “You ain’t seen nothing yet” – a song I guess most rock fans are familiar with.”
2. Sledgehammer
“The way it feels when you crank up the first song “Not Fragile” prepares you for what is soon to follow. Thunderous bass and drums. Howling guitars. Strong vocals. The epitome of what one would call heavy.”

“Some people write these reviews giving the history of the bands etc. But it all comes down to one simple fact. This cd kicks …period. This is the way rock & roll was meant to be.”
