Sixto Rodriguez who goes only by his Sur name – Rodriguez, is one of those poetic phenoms that slipped through the cracks… sadly never getting his own crack at the lime light and the big stage. Even more shameful is the fact that he never made a dime off most of his work. Cold Fact is a tremendous album that was released in the heyday of socially conscious psychedelia folk. Upon the release of Cold Fact, many around Rodriguez believed he would be leading the charts with names such as Bob Dylan & The Beatles. But through some mishandling on the label’s part – Sussex Records – the album fell into the abyss. Truly only gaining any notoriety in a few corners of the world. If you’ve never heard Rodriguez & his debut album, Cold Fact – I suggest you waste no time in doing so. It is a 32 minute treasure box.
