This was the CD that launched Rik’s independent record label in 1996 – a collection of nylon string classical fingerstyle pieces.
Youtube has all kinds of videos of all kinds of people trying their hands at Rik’s acoustic pieces from his Triumph days: “Invitations” was the solo album he had always wanted to make, and these newer pieces have now also become a large part of what (arguably) might be Emmett’s strongest musical legacy.
Rik had a dozen platinum LPs from ‘75 to ’88 as the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist with Triumph. Twenty more non-platinum solo indie projects followed over the years, ranging across genres. Six decades in the biz landed him in five Halls and two Walks of Fame, with a few ‘Best Guitarist’ awards in various categories along the way.
