"&lt;p&gt;This four-man band from Vancouver may be short on flamboyance, but producer-guitarist Randy Bachman (formerly a mainstay of the Guess Who) has a sure sense of dynamics and tone. He brought B.T.O. from nowhere nine months ago with a pair of singles (&amp;quot;Blue Collar&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Let It Ride&amp;quot;) and two good-selling albums, while everyone followed flashier stars.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;wm:embed type=\"related\"&gt;&lt;/wm:embed&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guitar sounds dominate their albums, as they reverberate meanly and crash through the group&amp;apos;s uncomplicated material. Bachman plays lead with imagination and power, while brother Tim is growing into a solid second guitarist (a third brother, Rob, is the drummer, and bassist Fred Turner rounds out the group). Together, they sound like a more explosive but less articulate Creedence; Turner, Randy and Tim all seem to be using John Fogerty as their vocal model.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;This album&amp;apos;s &amp;quot;Welcome Home&amp;quot; (written and sung by Randy) is the band&amp;apos;s most ambitious song. A musician&amp;apos;s-eye view of the long-touring road to success and his mixed feelings when that success begins to come, it is alternately dominated by jazz-influenced picking and shattering chords. For the most part, B.T.O. is more noteworthy for the way it sounds than for what it says. Still, it&amp;apos;s quite a sound.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
