His next band, Brave Belt, went nowhere until bassist Fred Turner took over more of the singing and the group rebranded. The Overdrive part of the name came from a trucking magazine called Overdrive that the band spotted on the road, which fit the blue-collar sound they were going for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA Radio Catchphrase Became the Hit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takin' Care of Business started life as a Bachman song called White Collar Worker that he felt was missing something. The fix came from a Winnipeg radio DJ whose on-air sign-off was a line about taking care of business, which Bachman heard while driving and swapped into the chorus. The finished track went to No. 12 in the US and became one of the most licensed songs in rock, showing up in ads and ballparks for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabels Kept Saying No:\u003c\/strong\u003e Before Mercury signed them, the band's demos were turned down by a long list of record companies. Mercury's Charlie Fach took a chance, and this second album, with Takin' Care of Business and Let It Ride, turned them into a headlining act within a year of the debut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68064687489211,"sku":null,"price":40.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/files\/1nt3o8f29huajc9x0ry032r00.jpg?v=1793409318","url":"https:\/\/powerplantrecords.com\/products\/bachman-turner-overdrive-bachman-turner-overdrive-ii-25","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
