One of the group's two main cogs, RANDY BACHMAN, is absent here, hence the "BTO" monicker in place of BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE. C.F. TURNER, the greatest gravel-in-the-gut belter since JOHN FOGERTY, goes through the motions on remakes of LET IT RIDE and ROLL ON DOWN THE HIGHWAY, also belching out a so-so cover of HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. He comes nowhere close to trumping the originals, so what's the point? New member RANDY MURRAY's hollow vocal imitations of the "other" RANDY on YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET and HEY YOU (an obvious rehash of their other hits) are unlistenable. BTO should have jumped on the UNPLUGGED trend, delivering newly arranged acoustic treatments of their classic catalogue. Or maybe pumped out an all-covers collection of bluesy rockers tailor made for FRED's banshee wail. A whole album of original music would have served fans best of all...good, bad, or ugly (the album, not the fans).
