Our Take

Ah, Rodriguez. The mysterious man of myth and legend. Coming From Reality is his second album, stepping out from the shadows and into the forefront of the music scene.

From the moment the needle drops, you're transported to a world of psychedelic wonder. Rodriguez's smooth vocals caress your ears like a warm hug from an old friend. The instrumentation is playful and whimsical, with hints of funk and soul sprinkled throughout.

Tracks like "Sugar Man" and "I Wonder" are absolute bops, oozing with nostalgia and a sense of longing. Rodriguez's songwriting is top-notch, weaving intricate tales of love and loss with a twist of paranoia thrown in for good measure.

The production on Coming From Reality is slicker than a greased weasel, with every note and chord perfectly polished to shine like a diamond in the rough. The mix is clean and crisp, allowing Rodriguez's voice to soar like a majestic eagle over a vast landscape of sound.

Overall, Coming From Reality is a triumph of an album that showcases Rodriguez's undeniable talent and musical prowess. So grab yourself a glass of your finest wine, sit back, and let the sweet sounds of Rodriguez wash over you like a warm summer breeze. 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.
