NSTS Episode 279 - Rik Emmett Returns Part II

Here's part two of my hang with Rik Emmett, live from Eli's Loft, to talk about his newest project Ten Telecaster Tales. As always, the conversation is rich, insightful and a lot of fun.

 

Rik performs four tracks from the record that accompanies the book, for the very first time since they'd been recorded. In turn, he talks about performance as communion, from the smallest (this one for NSTS listeners) right up to Triumph's US Festival appearance. He also shares great insights about the reggae influence in "Fight The Good Fight" and how he was asked to hurriedly come up with a single by the record company for the The Sport of Kings album that resulted in "Somebody's Out There". 

 

On Friday, March 21 at 8pm, Rik and I will be recording two episodes of No Sleep 'til Sudbury with a live audience at Black Bellows in Collingwood, Ontario. Go to www.blackbellows.com for details.
