     Bachman Turner Overdrive 
     
    
   
   
    
     The success of Bachman 
     
     Turner overdrive's first 
     
     ‘two albums could have been 
     
     a fluke of just beginners' 
     
     luck - but it wasn't! 
     
     BTO's third album "Not' 
     
     Fragile" has hit the mar- 
     
     ket even more solidly 
     
     than those before. The 
     
     rough, sappy style is as 
     
     good as the album's name 
     
     and the title cut. It's 
     
     hard rock in a listenable 
     
     form with very obvious 
     
     bass continuance through- 
     
     out. Turner takes care of 
     
     most of the vocals with 
     
     the distinguishable voice 
     
     that has become the ETC 
     
     identification. 
     
    

    
     "Rock is My Life, and 
     
     This is My Song" has the 
     
     more conventional sound 
     
     and is reminicent but not 
     
     repetitious of "Blue

     "I met a dreadful woman, 
     
     she took my heart away, 
     
     She said I had it com—

     those big brown eyes 
     
     And said,'You ain't 
     
     seen nothin' yet.'" 
     
    

    
     "Free Wheelin" takes a 
     
     drastic change from the 
     
    

    
     \rest of the album. It is 
     
     a dedication to Duane 
     
     Allman and it captures a 
     
     distinct sound which 
     
     brings to mind the Allman 
     
     Brothers.

     BTO's seems to be taken 
     
     with the style of other 
     
     groups and from the easy 
     
     Allman style, they blast 
     
     into\"Sledgehammer" which 
     
     could pass as earlier

     Grand Funk. It has a slow, 
     
     thumping beat and wailing 
     
     lyrics and would probably 
     
     pass as the poorest cut 
     
     on the album. However, its 
     
     soon forgotten for "Blue 
     
    
   
   
    
     Moanin'" which must be the 
     
     very best cut or the 
     
    
   
   
    
     . album. It's sound makes

     can give it}! 
     
    

    
     "Second Hand" continues 
     
     in the true BTO sound but

     seems rather downhill af—

     final cut "Given It All 
     
     Away" ranks with "Sledge- 
     
     hammer". There are some 
     
    
   
   
    
     good instrumentals but 
     
    

    
     the vocals kill the cut 
     
    

    
     with high level screeching. 
     
     All in all, the album
