THE EFFECT – Two Songs In, But What a First (& Second) Impression
l to r: Trev Lukather, Steve Maggiora, Emmett Stang and Nic Collins
Pro tip to anyone who aspires to be a music journalist: Research, research and more research is the key. If you ask a generic question (“so, tell me about your new album…”) the recording artist will respond with a canned answer. Before the interview, read the bios and press releases, and listen to their music again and again.

As a former session guitarist who's played on more that 1000 albums, you've probably heard Luke play on stuff without even knowing it was him. And with that kind of studio experience on his resume, I figured he'd certainly be of interest to those of us who are into home recording.
