Bachman Turner Overdrive In the Studio with Randy Bachman for “Four Wheel Drive” 50th anniversary.
The Poet Laureate of Rock, Ray Davies of The Kinks, joins me In the Studio to answer many more questions here the week of May 25, framed by lively versions of “All Day and All of the Night”, “Lola”, “Celluloid Heroes”, “You Really Got Me”, “Victoria”, “Picture Book”, and others.
