| Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Four Wheel Drive Band: Bachman-Turner Overdrive Tracks: - Four Wheel Drive - She's a Devil - Hey You - Flat Broke Love - She's Keepin' Time - Quick Change Artist - Lowland Fling - Don't Let the Blues Get You Down Prime Purveyors of Boogie Rifferama While BTO may not have invented the power chord, they certainly perfected it or, at the very least, brought it to an art form. Following on the heels of their masterpiece "Not Fragile" (if you can apply the term "masterpiece" to a bunch of guys only concerned with overamplified boogie), "Four Wheel Drive" came close, very close, to equaling the heights of sonic bombast our neighbors to the north unleashed on that album. While the first two BTO albums were serviceable examples of authentic 70's chug, this album finds The Band hitting its stride, both in terms of writing and playing. With its Twin Towers of Tonnage, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner, as always commandeering the assault on your inner ear, songs like the title track, "Hey You," "Quick Change Artist," and "Lowland Fling" hammer home our heroes' raison detre: plug in, turn up, and leave your cerebral cortex at the door. In terms of pure old school escapism, it's nice to have CD's like this that you can zap with a laser beam and be instantly transported back to high school. Underrated and unqualifyingly recommended... Four Wheel Drive A great album that came out while I was stationed in San Diego in the Navy in 1975. A good follow up to the extremely popular "Not Fragile" but not quite as good. I Love the title cut as well as the hit "Hey You" with Randy Bachman's vocals. But the vocals of C.F. Turner really carry this one on songs like the title cut and "She's a Devil" and "Flat Broke Love" . Great stuff from the BEST of 70's rock! No Gimmicks..No Tricks Just straight ahead full power rock and roll..BTO Good, made in the frenzied period following "Not Fragile" BTO was an international hit Band when this album came out - the follow-up to "Not Fragile." Fred Turner shines, and Robin Bachman's drumming propels the songs along. Not quite as powerful as "Not Fragile", still the cuts "Four Wheel Drive", "Flat Broke Love", and a couple of others are well worth a listen. BTO Rocks!
