They returned to Toronto’s RCA Studios for the recording of the second album Brave Belt II. Some of the music from this second outing is much bolder and heavier. With Randy again at the controls, the sessions were taking a heavier turn, with Turner contributing more, Randy Bachman, CF Turner, Chad Allen, Robbie Bachman writing 4 tracks on his own and co-writing “Put It In A Song” with Randy. At the same time Allen was contributing less – though he did co-write “Dunrobin’s Gone”, the group’s biggest hit along with Bob Ericson, and penned “Waterloo Country” and helped the Bachmans with two other tracks. The band’s only song written solely by an outsider was also present, with “Long Way Round” by Charles Charles. But by the time ‘Brave Belt II’ was released that summer, Allen’s vision of the group, and the conflicts which arose from it, had led to his departure. He was replaced by a third Bachman, Tim and the group honed their chops touring pretty much non-stop in western Canada. Allen is not listed as a band member on the credits of Brave Belt II, although he writes and sings two of the songs, including Brave Belts only hit, the uber-folk “Dunrobin’s Gone”.<br /><br /><br />Frustrated at what he perceived to be poor support from Reprise, Randy began shopping around for another label while the band wrote material for their next record, which was steadily taking a heavier, guitars tone. They landed a deal with Mercury Records before the end of the year, but management was insisting on a name change, and Bachman Turner Overdrive was born.<br /><br />Thx Marios & Laurent.adamus67https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035959023698485029noreply@blogger.com
