  • General Info
General Information
Description
Blair Montgomery Thornton is a rock guitarist and songwriter most widely known for his work with the Canadian rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive. He also played in the Vancouver-based band Crosstown Bus prior to joining BTO. Thornton replaced a founding member Tim Bachman, who left the group in January 1974. This occurred during the supporting tour for the Bachman-Turner Overdrive II album. Thornton made his live debut with BTO at a televised event for Don Kirshner's In Concert program hosted by Don E. Branker. With Thornton's arrival, BTO began incorporating "dual-lead" guitar solos in many new songs, with Thornton playing the lead guitar parts along with primary lead guitarist Randy Bachman. Such solos were not a major feature on the band's first two albums. As a songwriter, Thornton contributed two compositions to the Not Fragile album: "Givin' It All Away" and an instrumental called "Freewheelin'", still one of the favourite anthems of Not Fragile that also wound up as the B-side of the No. 1 hit "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".
