Press Reviews "Riales is a southerner by birth, and you can hear it in his smooth delivery, and in his poetry-disguised-as-plain-talk-lyrics." Chuck Cuminale, Rochester City Newsweekly ====================================== His second album, a solo recording project with 17 original songs, "Right Rear Wheel" was released in 2003. "His music is rooted in red clay and the type of sentimentality that can't be faked. Riales' music gets in your blood adn grooves and swings...this is one beautiful record. I could listen to this guy for hours." Frank De Blase, Rochester City Newsweekly
