Not Fragile, the third Bachman-Turner Overdrive album, rolled off the Mercury assembly line in 1974 with Randy Bachman producing, and it's Canadian hard rock built like a snowplow: thick, plain-spoken riffs, beefy boogie grooves and no apologies. It was the first record by the band's classic lineup, with Blair Thornton stepping in on lead guitar for Tim Bachman next to Randy Bachman on guitar and vocals, Fred Turner on bass and that gravel-truck voice, and Robbie Bachman on drums.
"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" is the stuttering, grinning centerpiece and became the band's only US number-one single, while "Roll On Down the Highway" is pure pedal-to-the-floor trucker rock. The album went to number one in both the US and Canada and stands as the Winnipeg band's most popular studio set.
