How did a man produced by both Dennis Coffey (legendary Funk Brother) and Steve Rowland (board-master for both The Herd and Pretty Things) fail to make one iota of impact in both the US and UK, yet become a seismic influence upon a generation of Apartheid-era South African youths in the 80s? When a copy of his 1970 debut LP, Cold Fact, made its way to the Rainbow Nation, Rodriguez became the nation's Elvis and Dylan rolled into one: a singer-songwriter whose laidback observations on life around...

This is the soundtrack to the wonderful documentary about two South African fans' pursuit of their long-lost musical hero, the political singer/songwriter who released a pair of stellar albums in the US in the early '70s under the name Rodriguez. Those albums bombed at home but eventually went platinum as bootlegs in South Africa -- I won't go into Sixto Diaz Rodriguez' fascinating story here, we've been crowing about this guy forever, but Searching for Sugar Man is a great collection of all...

Reissued almost thirty-five years after its original release, Rolling Stone favourite Rodriguez's second studio album, 'Coming From Reality', is regarded as one of the most important psychedelic-folk albums of the early 1970s. Like Tim Buckley, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan, the musician born Sixto Diaz Rodriguez made music that spoke of the social conditions of the era, infused with intricate guitar-picking and rumbling, melodic vocal stylings...

Rock n roll is filled with the strangest stories, but the story of lost and found singer Sixto Rodriguez has got to be amongst the strangest! If you want to find out just how strange, then I urge you to watch the widely acclaimed music-docu Searching For Sugar Man. To coincide with the movie?s recent release, there?s a Motion Picture Soundtrack available - comprising fourteen songs by the enigma that is Rodriguez...

After his first two albums bombed in the early-'70s, Mexican-American singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez disappeared into obscurity (at one time presumed dead). Unbeknown to him, a bootleg of his glorious blues-folk had become a cult phenomenon in apartheid-era South Africa. This release soundtracks the documentary movie which charts the story of two African fans who decided to track down their hero and is, in essence, a 'Best Of' collection...

LP version, 2010 repress. Deluxe 180 gram pressing, heavy jacket. "It's one of the lost classics of the '60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in color and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, 'jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane.' The album is Cold Fact, and what's more intriguing is that its maker -- a shadowy figure known as Rodriguez -- was, for many years, lost too. He recorded Cold Fact -- his debut album -- in 1969, and released it in March 1970...

Awash with Psychedelic political folk songs the 1960's saw Rodriguez drop through the crack in the floor of admiration. Not doing things too differently to the likes of Bob Dylan, his first few albums flopped and he ended up working a string of jobs including at a petrol station and hard labour. Now, 38 years on the album is being fished out of obscurity...

If you don't already know, let us fill you in on a little secret: Rodriguez is kind of a big deal. After a lengthy departure from the music business, this pioneering Detroit-born folk singing soul brother came back with a 'BANG' in 2008-9 after Light In The Attic's re-release of his psychedelic opus Cold Fact (LITA 036), followed by the beautifully Donovan-esque Coming From Reality (LITA 038)...

"Sights or Sounds" starts this record off and within ten seconds I'm telling myself this is another Pedro the Lion record. A few songs later I'm almost positive someone has slipped some Eagles into the player and in the end I'm not so sure this isn't a spoof on some early Violent Femmes. I'm not sure of what Rodriguez is trying to do here, but whatever it is it doesn't sound too original. Don't get me wrong, it is an enjoyable record that I've listened to a couple of times through now...
