Ironhorse

Ironhorse was a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, formed by Randy Bachman, the former guitarist and singer of The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

The initial incarnation of the band also included Tom Sparks (vocals, guitars), John Pierce (bass) and Mike Baird (drums).

[1] This line-up of Ironhorse released the 1979's Ironhorse album on the Scotti Brothers label, and had a minor U.S. hit single in April 1979 with "Sweet Lui-Louise", which peaked at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

In 1980, Ironhorse disbanded, with the remaining members (Bachman/Leighton/Ludwig) forming Union with Bachman's former Bachman-Turner Overdrive band-mate Fred Turner.

Union released one album, On Strike, on the CBS subsidiary Portrait Records, and had a minor hit with the track "Mainstreet U.S.A." As of May 2013, Randy Bachman has secured the rights to the two Ironhorse albums.
