Album Reviews
Ironhorse ex-Guess Who guitarist Randy Bachman by still another name fares only a bit better on its debut album. This time, Bachman downplays the heavy-metal macho he was selling in Bachman-Turner Overdrive and instead casts his lot with the Foreigners and Totos. Ironhorse fashions a tight, professional but ultimately gutless hard rock that's all polish (perfect harmonies, squeaky-clean guitar sound, impeccable production) and no spit (drab vocals, an undistinguished rhythm section). Though "Jump Back in the Light" and "Tumbleweed" pack a half-decent kick, the rest of the songsall written by Bachman and guitarist Tom Sparksare just more FM fodder of no particular distinction.
