A great compliation of an underrated band,
By
This review is from: Best Of B.T.O. (Remastered Hits) (Audio CD)
The Best Of B.T.O. (So Far) is a great retrospective of a band who wrote some of the best rock songs of the mid-70's but is primarily known for their three-chord classic "Takin' Care Of Business" and their catchy #1 single "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet." However, many of the other tracks here such as "Hey You", "Take It Like A Man", "Roll Down The Highway" and "Let It Ride", were great hard rock songs released at a time when mellow rock was still popular. But B.T.O. weren't just a hard rock band. The tracks "Blue Collar" and "Lookin' Out For #1" were mellower, jazzier songs with the former featuring some great jamming at the song's conclusion. Upon hearing these tracks, it's hard to believe that they're the same band who did "Takin' Care Of Business." Other great tracks here include the killer instrumental "Free Wheelin'" and "Gimme Your Money Please." A great compliation. Not Fragile is also a great album from these guys.

Concise and Fun,

This review is from: Best Of B.T.O. (Remastered Hits) (Audio CD)
Very good remastered sound, and the final three tracks, including the terrific instrumental "Free Wheelin,'" weren't on the original. Sure, "Taking Care of Business" is played far too often on the radio (and in TV commercials, for that matter). "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," "Let It Ride" and "Hey You" are the other heavyweight hits from these heavyset rockers, and you've heard them many times as well. But "Blue Collar" and "Looking Out For #1" are two excellent mellow BTO tunes...Randy Bachman, just as he did in the Guess Who, displayed an ability to play with great finesse as well as fire. Throw in "Gimme Your Money Please" and "Roll On Down The Highway," both with high-powered Fred Turner vocals, and you have a winner. Highly recommended...you'll really enjoy the overplayed hits alongside the equally strong lesser-known stuff on this disc.

A good BTO collection,
By Brian D. Rubendall - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best Of B.T.O. (Remastered Hits) (Audio CD)
Okay, Bachman Turner Overdrive was derivative and not a terribly original band. Not to mention the fact that "Takin' Care of Business" is one of classic rock's most overplayed songs. But that doesn't mean they didn't have their moments. And most of their best moments are collected here. Give 'em this, the boys knew how to write a song with a catchy hook, as they do with such classic cuts as "Roll on Down the Highway," "Hey You," "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and "Let it Ride." This stuff may not be high art, but its loads of fun. My only complaint is that this "Remastered" album has apparently taken the place of the old "B.T.O.'s Greatest" collection, which included the excellent later songs "Rock and Roll Nights" and "Jamacia." Since "Greatest" also includes the above mentioned songs, I'd recommend searching out a used copy. 12 of 13 people found the following review helpful

You gotta buy this....,
By Ed Williams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best Of B.T.O. (Remastered Hits) (Audio CD)
....if you want to hear simply the best, heavy metal, rock'n'roll music there is. All the great BTO hits are on this CD, the cuts still sound great, and just listening to Fred Turner render the vocals on "Roll On Down The Highway" and "Let It Ride" alone makes this worth the price of admission. Buy this now, and let me give you some advice - if you hear BTO is playing in your area, GO! - they sound better than they ever have.
