"Music lovers will really appreciate this album! It has a little bit of everything on it. Guitar players will love the many styles that Emmett plays. The man really has no boundries in his playing.The album was recorded live up in Boston. Guitar magazine once said that Emmett was "too talented for his own good." You'll soon see that this is true.Emmett's like a mix of Stevie Vai, Larry Carlton, Richie Blackmore and Steve Morse all rolled up into one! Plus he has the god given talent of having the most amazing voice that I've ever heard. Take my word for it folks. Pick up this album and get ready to listen to one of the finest musicians on this planet."

"This is a wonderful CD which captures the magic of Rik's solo acoustic performances. His virtuosity and style mix perfectly with his on-stage charisma, and sense of humor. Rik just keeps getting better. Rock, blues, jazz, classical... he does it all.This album is a must-have."
Emmett's finest hour

"If you love music you will love this CD. Rik Emmett explores every style of music on this live masterpiece. Although Triumph (Emmett's former band) was known for it's dazzling light shows and pyrotechnics they were never a great sounding live band. Emmett on his own relies on his music not the special effects. Without a big label calling the shots Rik has given us some of the best music a fan could ask for. In this album Rik gives us a full dose of the kind of great music he flirted with in his Triumph days. The vocals are sharp and crisp and the instrumentals are played with a lot of heart and guitar prowess. Do yourself a favor and pick this CD up."
