Synopsis
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 it - the truth I bet my life on. It was also, always, about play. The play's the thing...' Merging memoir, anecdotes, and masterclasses on guitar, songwriting, and the artist's mindset, Lay It on the Line 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. 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.
