Bachman-Turner Overdrive are making a grand return with the new single, “60 Years Ago,” featuring Neil Young.

The song, written by Randy Bachman and his son Tal Bachman during their pandemic YouTube show “Bachman & Bachman Friday Night Train Wreck,” was released last Friday. It is one of the tracks from their unreleased collaborative album.

The track, paying tribute to Winnipeg, marks the first new music from the Canadian rock band since they released the album, BTO, in 1984.

“60 Years Ago” features original band singer Fred Turner with guitarist Tal Bachman, drummer KoKo Bachman and Neil Young, who plays a guitar solo.

“As a thank-you to Winnipeg, the city that shaped us, I wrote a song called ’60 Years Ago,'” Bachman said in a press release. “This song is our tribute to Winnipeg, the place where we grew up as teenagers in the ’60s, a time when the city’s music scene was exploding. It was the Liverpool of North America, a melting pot of incredible talents”.

He added, “”Everyone I’ve talked to who spent time in Winnipeg and witnessed that musical explosion is excited to hear this song, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.”
