S.O.D. "Let It Ride" by Bachman Turner Overdrive

1/4/2015     You never know how a song will come about.  While riding in their tour bus, they got tapped by some trucks and couldn't go anywhere.  At a nearby truckers stop they asked the drivers of the trucks why that happened.  The truckers simply told them to "let it ride."  

     The 1974 release made it to #14 on the charts and #3 in Canada.  The Canadian band was formed in 1973 by former The Guess Who members, Randy Bachman and Chad Allan and also bassist, Fred Turner.  From 1971-1973 they were known as Brave Belt.  They have produced 26 albums including live compilations and 22 singles.

     BTO is known to have revitalized Rock & Roll during the mid 70s when soft rock was dominating the charts.
