Randy Bachman

Ashburn

Randy Bachman is a Canadian rock guitarist and singer. He was born in Winnipeg and was a member of Chad Allen & the Expressions, which evolved into <a href="spotify:artist:0cQuYRSzlItquYxsQKDvVc">the Guess Who</a>, the most successful Canadian rock band of the 1960s. He left <a href="spotify:artist:0cQuYRSzlItquYxsQKDvVc">the Guess Who</a> in July 1970, made a solo album, Axe, and then formed <a href="spotify:artist:38vF2zX8hLk9g33VeRXpGS">Brave Belt</a>, which evolved by 1972 into <a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">Bachman-Turner Overdrive</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">BTO</a>). He left <a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">BTO</a> in April 1977, made a second solo album, Survivor (1978), and then launched a new band, <a href="spotify:artist:1tY1qrN4BoHjs6eKNsr6ja">Ironhorse</a>, in 1979, but was back touring with <a href="spotify:artist:0cQuYRSzlItquYxsQKDvVc">the Guess Who</a> in 1983 and then with <a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">BTO</a> by 1984. Another solo album, Any Road, was released on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Guitar+Recordings%22">Guitar Recordings</a> in 1993. The live Every Song Tells a Story appeared in 2002 from <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22True+North%22">True North</a>, followed by JazzThing in 2004 from <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Maximum+Jazz%22">Maximum Jazz</a>. The Bachman Cummings Songbook saw the light in 2006. Also in 2006, Bachman issued a collection of unreleased Bachman Cummings project songs (originally recorded in 1987) dubbed The Thunderbird Trax. In 2007, another jazz-flavored release (JazzThing II) was issued, along with the Bachman Cummings cover album Jukebox. A DVD document of Bachman's July 7, 2007 live performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival was issued in July of 2008. For the 2008 holidays, Bachman released an album of Christmas favorites (Takin' Care of Christmas) -- with the titular track being a reworked version of the <a href="spotify:artist:5q4AzEtCoYJyXjMMoEkSU5">BTO</a> classic "Takin' Care of Business." In 2010 Bachman and Fred Turner issued an eponymous studio album (Bachman & Turner), and in 2015 Bachman released the star-studded solo outing Heavy Blues, which featured appearances from <a href="spotify:artist:6v8FB84lnmJs434UJf2Mrm">Neil Young</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4SsLXt0cHcVRhHzxXa8Wnx">Jeff Healey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2SNzxY1OsSCHBLVi77mpPQ">Joe Bonamassa</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0543y7yrvny4KymoaneT4W">Peter Frampton</a>. In the wake of Heavy Blues, Bachman continued to play live and host his Vinyl Tap show on CBC radio. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

Songs I Wrote

Randy Bachman from the Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive

This always reminded me of a Brazilian bossa nova song

you get the feeling that Randy never gets sick of playing this song

i played this song a ton of times in the &#39;60s. but just recently i learned the correct chords from one of Gary&#39;s vids, i&#39;m 72 now, hehehehe :)

I don&#39;t know why this song popped in my head today, but I&#39;m so glad I&#39;m revisiting vids of it! I sing a lot of jazz, and will sing this! It&#39;s such a hip song, and listening to your patter, I know why it fits jazz! Thank you!

Perhaps one of the world&#39;s most underrated composers and musicians.

I just incredibly, irrationally love this song, and have done so since first hearing it in &#39;69.

 True Canadiana TALENT !!! THANKS RANDY, YOU WERE IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR !!!

Great storyteller songwriter and picker......and he taught us how to play that bloody intro chord to &quot;A hard Days Night&quot;.

some guys are extraordinary!!!! where can I find one???

Sound and video is excellent on this clip. This has always been a favorite of mine since I got the album in 75. His solos here are very close to the actual album&#39;s solos. The jazzy end solo is phenomenal and very overlooked by rock guitarists. Thanks for posting.

Oh boy do I love this song!!  Pure genius.   There is a 2004 video on youtube of the Turner/Murray BTO doing Blue Collar; if somehow we could merge Turner&#39;s vocals and bass with Randy Bachman&#39;s guitar, we&#39;d have a perfect song.  In fact, if Turner and Bachman ever got together I&#39;ll bet they&#39;d make a great band.  
I always think of Blue Collar as a Canadian working class Black Magic Woman.  I just don&#39;t understand why Blue Collar isn&#39;t more popular.  
Bachman looks great!  Clean living I guess.

The guy&#39;s almost 70, so let&#39;s cut him some slack.  Go back and listen to the studio version.  That&#39;s some brilliant playing at the end of the song.

There he is, a true pioneer and master of the craft, still rocking.
