Not Fragile
Bachman-Turner Overdrive
The project captures a blue-collar aesthetic central to the mid-seventies Canadian rock scene. Randy Bachman developed the main riff on a cheap pawn shop guitar while the group recorded in a single burst of intensity.
This release marks a turn toward straightforward, heavy rock. It proved the ensemble could deliver hard-hitting compositions that stood on their own, cementing their move into an international sphere.
