Bachman Turner Overdrive

Canadian band deriving their name from the founding artists Randy Bachman and Fred Turner. The Overdrive bit was in homage to the trucker's magazine of the same name.

Their self-titled debut album was released in 1973 but it wasn't until after their second album had been released that they really rose to fame following the number one hit single "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
