Blu-ray Verdict: A documentary film chronicling the life of Randy Bachman, best known as a founding member of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive, was always going to peak my interest - and rightly so.

The Canadian musician best known as lead guitarist, songwriter and a founding member of the 1960s and 1970s rock bands The Guess Who and Bachman–Turner Overdrive he was also a member of Brave Belt, Union and Ironhorse; and, of course, has recorded numerous solo albums over the decades.

'Bachman', written and directed by John Barnard (The Sheepdogs Have At It, Menorca), lovingly chronicles Bachman’s life from his childhood in Winnipeg, Canada to his touring career today at the age of 75.

This wondrous, engaging and totally value-packed (for all fans of music) features priceless interviews with Neil Young, Alex Lifeson (Rush), Peter Frampton and Fred Turner, among others.

The 78-minute documentary - which feels much longer as you lovingly allow it to flow over you with its wealth upon wealth of musical history - shows viewers Bachman's love of the guitar and how his passion began at an early age.

How he admired the work of local singer-songwriter Chad Allan and eventually joined his band. That band later became the Guess Who.

Bachman also bucked the common rock star lifestyle of booze, drugs and sex and converted to Mormonism for the woman he loved.

For the first time ever, Bachman reveals how his lifestyle choices led to tension in both bands and the ultimate breakups of the Guess Who and BTO.

'Bachman' also delves into his most recent work, an album featuring the songs of George Harrison. We also get to watch along as he visits his sanctuary: a warehouse filled with hundreds of customized guitars.

Bachman's face lights up as he pulls one rare guitar after another — his passion and love for them are impossible to overlook.

It's quite clear from watching this new documentary that here today, the 75-year-old shows no signs of slowing down and continues to create music and tour the world as a solo artist on his own terms - and for the love of his audiences worldwide.

The additional footage showcases: Neil Young on Winnipeg, Randy's Crazy Horse, Building a Reprise 'Here Comes the Sun', On Chords, Songwriting 'When No One Knows'. This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.85:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Features of:
