Description:
<p><b>From Triumph superstar Rik Emmett comes the thrilling, inspiring story of a life of rock and roll</b></p>
<p>While describing the impulse driving his life and work, Rik Emmett explains, “I was never in it for the sex and drugs — ah, but the rock and roll. Creativity was, and still is, my <i>it</i> — the truth I bet my life on. <i>It</i> was also, always, about play. <i>The play’s the thing …</i>”</p>
<p>Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist’s mindset<i>, Lay It On The Line</i> offers insight and perspective into the many roles Rik Emmett took on. “It” was always a parboiling, psychological gumbo: and this book attempts to finally share the recipe.</p>
<p>It also includes photos from Emmett’s own archives, plus the definitive, detailed reasons behind why he walked from Triumph — and came back two decades later.</p>
<p>Rock star, it seems, was a character for Rik Emmett to inhabit … a great gig, a catalytic door-opener … it was a role that led to other adventures — and these are the stories he’s chosen to tell.</p>
