Cold Fact

I wished he’d made more albums. Bought both he did make and loved the music.

I watched the 'Sugarman' documentary & was inspired to buy this CD. I have never heard of this guy & I study classic rock/ music extensively. This is an amazing album - start to finish. Better songwriter & voice than the folk great Bob Dylan.

Great album. A very sad story of a man who passed away from a stroke but was unknown to much of the US due to poor exposure and bootleg thieves. Watch the documentary “ Searching for Sugarman.”

This is the sort of cd that grows on you the more you play it. I think inner city blues is my favorite on here and as one person has said a cross between Jose feliciano and Dylan. Clever lyrics.

Sounds great and its 180g

You can tell that when this album was made so many years ago that the record label thought a lot of Rodriquez, It was a very well produced album, with plenty of fine background instrumentation. Maybe even more remarkable, during an era when a lot of master tapes were thrown out, reused, or mishandled, the original tapes for Cold Fact seem to have held up well resulting in a nice digital recording. Now the important part: I had not heard of Rodriguez prior to the 60 Minutes article. So I was listening to the music with new ears. Musically, it's very good music, not just for the era that it was produced but it sounds very good today. It really does "make me wonder" why his music never took off. I think that if this album had come out about 7 years earlier it would have hit the sweet spot of folk music and he would have been a star.

Happy with my purchase, fast delivery

excellent cd

Ottimo imballo e che dire dell'album di Sixto, è stata una sorpresa incredibile, talento puro che non aveva nulla da invidiare a Dylan e friends. Poesia pura. Consiglio anche il documentario oltre l'ottimo album.

Mein absolutes Lieblingsalbum und leider nicht so bekannt in Deutschland, wie es sein sollte. Viele die den Film "Sugarman" gesehen haben, kennen vielleicht sogar dieses Album von Rodriguez. Für mich mit Abstand das beste Album von ihm, mit einem tollen Charme und super fürs genießen oder einfach bei einer Dinnerparty im Hintergrund. Rodriguez überzeugt mit seiner tollen Stimme, dem guten Klang und vor allem den Lyrics.

Me mandaron uno que estaba ovalado pero me lo cambiaron sin problemas, el disco es increíble

I replaced my old CD with this after I discovered I hadn’t looked after my first version very well. iMusic didn’t recognise the songs which was strange. I’ve been listening to this since 1981. It’s still my favourite album. Never seem to tire of it. I’ve introduced it to many friends over the years and had the privilege of seeing Rodriguez twice in Sydney. Got my photo taken with him and he signed my original album. Such a true gentleman. He had an extraordinary life. He is very missed.

I have to say as a fan of 70s music, getting to know and listen to Sixto is heaven. This album is incredible.
