Turner was soon asked to be a full-time member and sing lead for the recording of "Brave Belt II" in 1972. Chad Allan appeared as a vocalist on two "Brave Belt II" songs, but left the band shortly after the album's recording. During the tour to support this album, another Bachman sibling, Tim Bachman, was added as a second guitarist because the band had felt their three-piece arrangement was too restrictive. "Brave Belt II" also failed to achieve any notable chart success, and in mid-1972 their supporting tour was cancelled halfway through. But Turner's influence had started to make itself felt, as he composed five songs for the "Brave Belt II" album and sang lead on nine of the album's eleven songs. "Brave Belt II" had a harder, more guitar-heavy sound than its predecessor, complemented by Turner's throaty, powerful voice.
