A re-up from the original. I wasn't happy with the results so I re-did this. This is Bachman-Turner Overdrive's only non-LP single but the song later surfaced in various greatest hits compilations as well as in the re-issue of their 5th album, Head On. In 1975, Down To the Line, missed the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, peaking at #43, but did better on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, where it got as high as #13. It did make the Top 40 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart where it peaked at #38. For the record, Head On yielded 2 charted singles; Take It Like A Man (#33, which featured Little Richard on Piano) and Lookin' Out For #1 (#65 in 1976). This driving piece of 70s rock definitely deserved a better chart fate.

I met Randy 6 years ago, and asked him about this song, which I remembered and loved. Randy's version as I remember it...."We were on tour, and the record company wanted a single before the next album would be out....so I went to Fred and said, we need a single, you write a song, I'll write a song, and the best one is the A Side.......and at this time, I was getting into production, I was producing Trooper, and looking for more work...... and they say, when you are writing songs, best to not listen to other peoples' work.... and I was listening to a lot of demos. Down to the Line came out, and climbing the charts, and then came the letters from the Lawyers. Apparently parts of Down to the Line closely resembled a demo which had been submitted to randy. According to him, "Alice got the same demo tape". Can't vouch for the validity of the story, just how it was told by Randy. Whoever wrote it, the record company gave cooper and fowley co-writes when the song was finally released on cd.

Great job with this. Other versions have the static at the beginning. This sounds better than the original.

You're right! It was originally released as a non-LP single, but the song later surfaced in various BTO greatest hits compilations and a CD re-issue of Head On.

Strange, this is not on my copy of Head On. I've got is only as a single.
