NSTS Episode 264 – The Legendary Rik Emmett Part II

Welcome to part two of my latest NSTS chat with the very talented and always entertaining Rik Emmett, live from his home.

Last week we talked about his new book entitled Lay It On The Line, and this week we discuss some of the other stuff he’s been working on – including reworked versions of some old Triumph classics and a new project called Ten Telecaster Tales. And guess what? Rik was kind enough to give us our own exclusive little taste of some of these songs.

NSTS Episode 263 – The Legendary Rik Emmett

He’s back! 

Rik Emmett’s new book, Lay It On The Line, is the focus of our latest chat live from the newly renovated music room of Rik’s home. As usual, the discussion is funny, insightful and highly entertaining – not unlike his new book. 

In part one of our two-part conversation, the insights are particularly interesting. Rik sheds light on his motivations behind writing songs like “Fight The Good Fight”, “Magic Power”, and “Hold On”, how a Triumph album cover tried to capture a Beatles motif (but with lasers!), how “Suitcase Blues” prepared his fans for a post-Triumph Rik Emmett, and so much more.
