Still Takin' Care of Business: The Randy Bachman Story

Randy Bachman is a survivor. Still very much in demand as a songwriter and session player, Bachman has played an integral role in the evolution and growth of the Canadian music industry and continues to serve as both an inspiration and impetus for others to succeed. As the elder statesman of Canadian rock music, he is a truly legendary figure. Since 1965 he has been directly responsible for more than two dozen hit records, a dozen gold and platinum albums (including the first ever Canadian produced platinum album), and writing and producing credits. His successes with the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, including Shakin' All Over, American Woman, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, and Takin' Care of Business, are a veritable soundtrack to the last thirty years of popular music. His songs have been recorded by a diverse selection of artists (most recently by Lenny Kravitz for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me), and he has received awards for record sales, writing, and production as well as the coverted BMI award for over one million airplays of his songs. He has been animated on The Simpsons and is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records. This moving and fascinating autobiography, written by respected rock music historian John Einarson with Randy Bachman, gives us a once in a lifetime tour behind the scenes: from Randy's earliest days in Winnipeg with Lenny Breau and Neil Young, to the Guess Who's grand coast-to-coast reunion tour in the summer of 2000.
