Heavy blues, indeed. Randy Bachman — leading a new group simply called Bachman isn’t soft selling his forthcoming album, advanced here by a raucous side featuring Peter Frampton.
“Heavy Blues” begins with an aggressively crunchy, “American Woman”-esque declamation before Bachman’s voice — as famous from his work with Bachman-Turner Overdrive as that guitar sound was with the great Guess Who hit — takes this song back toward more accustomed environs.
