Rock Legend Randy Bachman Looks Back on Iconic Career with Every Song Tells A Story Live CD/DVD Set
There are few musicians who have penned as many anthemic rock tunes as Randy Bachman, often referred to as the “architect of Canadian rock n’ roll.” His catalogue of hits includes “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “No Time,” “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet,” “Takin’ Care of Business,” and “Roll On Down the Highway.” And now, Bachman himself offers captivating in-concert renditions of all of these classics (and many more) plus stories about the creation of many of them on Every Song Tells A Story, a fourteen-track CD/DVD set that will be released on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 via the Independent Label Services Group (ILS).
Randy at the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival
Recorded in April 2013 at Pantages Playhouse Theatre in Winnipeg, Every Song Tells A Story features Bachman in a rare and intimate setting, weaving together the transcendent and iconic hits of the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive with the often-humorous anecdotes that originally brought the songs to life. Inspired by his award-winning radio program “Vinyl Tap,” Bachman takes his master storytelling and voluminous musical knowledge on the road and leads fans on a guided journey that encapsulates the last 30 years of popular music presented by one of the greatest rock legends of our time.
