Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Inducted in 2014

It took a while for Randy Bachman to find his musical groove after leaving The Guess Who in 1970, but the subsequent success of Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO) proves that the efforts were worth it.

Bachman’s first post-Guess Who effort was a solo album, Axe (1970). But the Winnipegger seemed to work best in a band and formed Brave Belt in 1971 with his younger brother Robbie and former Guess Who frontman Chad Allan. Fred Turner would join them as their live bassist.
