Cold Fact

Add to Cart$13.99 ... CD
CD (Item 475582) Sussex/Light In The Attic, 1970 -- Condition: New Copy

One of a handful of enigmatic albums cut in the early 70s by Sixto Rodriguez -- a Latin-tinged singer with a style that's a bit like that of Jose Feliciano -- but trippier, and with more rock and folk touches! This set's probably his best one -- thanks to arrangements and production by Dennis Coffey and Mike Theodore, both of whom give the album a stoned-out feel that sets it up nicely with other work on the Sussex label at the time -- and which has made this Rodriguez album a well-sought nugget for crate diggers! The album's got a lot of "deep" cuts with semi-political lyrics -- including "Inner City Blues" (not Marvin's version), "Like Janis", "This Is Not A Song, It's An Outburst", and "Crucify Your Mind" -- and Rodriguez seems like he must have been one hip cat back in his day! Wonderful reissue version -- with great sound and a huge booklet of notes that really gets at the details of the enigmatic Rodriguez story!  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

Rodriguez -- Cold Fact (180 gram pressing) ... LP $19.99
