"Talk About Trouble" is the debut release from acoustic blues artist Aric Riley. The CD features heart-felt originals and unique arrangements of traditional blues songs from the likes of Mississippi John Hurt, Mance Lipscomb, and Robert Petway.

The album, recorded at Falcon Studios in Portland, was produced by renowned Blues artist / producer Terry Robb. The superb recording and production perfectly captures the intricacy and passion of Arics solo finger-style guitar playing and singing.

In addition to the solo efforts on the album, Aric teams up with Mr. Robb (bottleneck guitar) and Katey Angel (bass) for a blistering rendition of Lightnin Hopkins Feel So Bad. Aric and Terry team up again for a tribute to Blues great Jimmy Rogers in Youre The One.
