Randy Bachman

Every Song Tells A Story

use of split-screen, which allows for a lot of nostalgic and relevant pictures from the past. The stories he tells are really entertaining, and anyone who’s ever been in a band will connect. Randy formed a new band, Brave Belt but with his two brothers and Fred Turner on bass they became Bachman Turner Overdrive and a whole lot heavier. This is a very enjoyable DVD and it comes with a bonus CD of just the songs. He’s a great character with a good band behind him – well worth checking out. Taken from his Vinyl Tap Tour, this is Randy Bachman in an intimate theatre environment, playing and chatting about his musical life. Randy likens Winnipeg to Liverpool in his early days, with lots of gigs and a drinking age of 21. Highly influenced by British music, his band played material by Cliff and The Shadows, and their first single was a cover of Johnny Kidd’s Shakin’ All Over. As they didn’t have a name, the record company put it out as Guess Who and it stuck. Jamming at a gig, Randy came up with the riff that became American Woman and a number one all over the world. Randy has an easy way that makes you want to watch and listen, and the DVD makes great
