RODRIGUEZ HAS ARRIVED

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Finally. The day has come when all of you, lucky lucky folk can be exposed to Rodriguez and his amazing reissued debut album Cold Fact.  We’re not joking here, this is a classic, a hidden gem buried beneath the dust of time, and we’ve spent long hours unearthing it so the world can know of Rodriguez’s masterpiece.  It’s part late-60s psych, part Dylan-folk, smattered with a touch of the Funk Brothers’ Motown horns.  It features classics like the Nas-sampled “Sugar Man” and  the brilliant folk piece “Crucify Your Mind”, and these are just the beginning.  We are most certainly tooting our own horn because this is a reissue for the ages, a true timeless piece of music that is only now going to be able to be exposed to the legions of fan who deserve to be exposed to it.

Please purchase this album … right now, right HERE.

Rodriguez Performs “Crucify Your Mind” On Late Show with David Letterman 8/14/12 (Video)

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

We were crying tears of joy last night when Rodriguez made his “Late Show with David Letterman” debut. Rodriguez performed “Crucify Your Mind” (from Cold Fact and featured on the Searching For Sugar Man Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) supported by the Late Show band and a stellar chamber orchestra. Buttressed by this ensemble and Rodriguez’s intense delivery, the  song came to life in a way we haven’t heard in years. As they say, it’s been a long, strange trip, especially for Rodriguez. Check out the clip below (not sure if this is an “official” stream, but we’ll be sure to update it should this link be taken down).
