Our Take

Rodriguez's "Cold Fact" is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a dusty old record shop - unexpected, mysterious, and utterly captivating. This album is a wild ride through the turbulent 70s, with Rodriguez's soulful voice guiding us through tales of love, heartbreak, and the harsh realities of life.

The music is a fusion of folk, rock, and psychedelic sounds that transport the listener to a different time and place. From the hauntingly beautiful "Sugar Man" to the funky grooves of "I Wonder," each track is a journey in itself. Rodriguez's lyrics are poetic and introspective, tackling heavy subjects with a light touch that is both thought-provoking and deeply moving.

What sets "Cold Fact" apart from other albums of its time is Rodriguez's unique storytelling and unconventional song structures. He is a true master at weaving together disparate elements to create a cohesive and compelling musical experience.

Overall, "Cold Fact" is a timeless masterpiece that deserves to be rediscovered by a new generation of music lovers. Rodriguez may have been a hidden figure in the 70s, but his impact on the music world is undeniable. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a glass of whiskey, and let Rodriguez take you on a journey through the highs and lows of life. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Rodriguez

Ah, Rodriguez, the enigmatic singer-songwriter whose music seems to defy time itself. With a career spanning over five decades, this South African folk hero has captivated audiences around the world with his soulful voice and thought-provoking lyrics. Born in 1942 in Detroit, Rodriguez first burst onto the music scene in the late 1960s with his debut album "Cold Fact". Despite critical acclaim, the album failed to make a splash in the US, leading to Rodriguez fading into obscurity. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Rodriguez experienced a resurgence in the 1990s when his music found a new audience in South Africa. Dubbed the "Bob Dylan of South Africa", Rodriguez's poignant ballads struck a chord with the country's youth during the Apartheid era. Fast forward to today, and Rodriguez's music continues to resonate with fans old and new alike. His timeless melodies and introspective lyrics have solidified his status as a musical legend, with his influence extending to contemporary artists like Bon Iver and Father John Misty. Despite his status as a cult icon, Rodriguez remains humble and down-to-earth, eschewing the trappings of fame for a simple life spent writing and performing music. With his iconic sunglasses and trademark hat, Rodriguez is a true original in a sea of imitators. So, if you're looking for a musical experience that transcends boundaries and speaks to the soul, look no further than Rodriguez. His music is a testament to the power of storytelling and the enduring spirit of artistry. Catch him live if you can, and prepare to be transported to a world where music knows no bounds.
