All songs written or co-written by James Thackery except "Bullfrog" (Harris), "Mercury Blues" (K.C. Douglas) and "Don't Lose Your Cool" (Albert Collins).
Trouble Man is a hard-driving blues-rock album, with more emphasis on the "rock" than Thackery's other releases. It slows down just long enough for the slightly dark "Lovin' You Right" and the jazzy "Anchor to a Drowning Man," arguably the best cut here. "Doin' 100" and the instrumental "Hang Up and Drive" have a strong Stevie Ray Vaughan sound. Thackery applies a steady, yet light-hearted and uptempo pace to William Harris' "Bullfrog," which has also been covered by the likes of Dave Hole and John Hammond. The K.C. Douglas cover "Mercury Blues" has been recorded by everyone from Steve Miller to Alan Jackson (remember the "Crazy 'bout a Ford truck" commercials?), but this is one of the best versions you're likely to hear. The Albert Collins instrumental "Don't Lose Your Cool" is another highlight of Trouble Man; Thackery attacks the tune while remaining in total control of his instrument, as he always does. If you've seen him live, you can just envision his arms swinging wildly on this one. Trouble Man doesn't quite live up to the material on Empty Arms Motel or Drive to Survive, but you really can't go wrong with any Thackery release. ~ Ann Wickstrom

Tom Paine, critical reviewer for San Diego Troubadour Magazine, has said, “The sun, the sand, and the sea permeates every note of his beautifully produced album. Rob Mehl’s easy-going, warm voice and able acoustic guitar playing hold the ship on course like a keel. His warm, simple, slow-paced vision of the good life, island-style, is so real it’ll leave sand in your shoes! Rob is a safe harbor when the hard winds blow.”Tim Flannery, formerly with the San Diego Padres, now the San Francisco Giants, as well as the Tim Flannery Band has said, “Rob Mehl's songs touch the inner part of the soul - his words and beautiful voice not only move me, but bring me closer to the humanity that we all belong to. I am honored to call him friend.”Barry McGuire, of “Eve Of Destruction” fame, has said that “Rob’s talent as a musician and songwriter has always inspired me. So much so that I recorded two of his songs. In concert he shows a tenderness and strength mixed with humor and truth.”Dave Sawyer, also with the San Diego Troubadour Magazine, once said that Rob Mehl's music is described as coastal alternative - not really surf music, not really island, not really Americana...maybe 'Isle-icana'?" Rob Mehl is a fine songwriter and an excellent musician.Mark Lennon of the band Venice, recently wrote and said, "Hey Rob! We've been listening to your cd out by the pool during our writing breaks - you take us back to the islands and make our minds free to create again. Thanx! Ciao for now, Mark and the rest of the boys from Venice"Michael Ruff, Jazz Recording Artist & Producer, who's written for Bonnie Raitt and others has said, "Wow, God's gift to you shows through clearly on all these ...
