{"product_id":"rodriguez-cold-fact","title":"Rodriguez – Cold Fact (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe career of \u003cstrong\u003eSixto Rodriguez\u003c\/strong\u003e amounted to somewhat less than a scrawled footnote in musical history. The son of Mexican immigrants, his debut album, \u003cstrong\u003eCold Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e, was released in 1970 to a barely perceptible shrug. But as \u003cstrong\u003eRodriguez\u003c\/strong\u003e got on with his life, \u003cstrong\u003eCold Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e slowly developed a life of its own, picking up a word-of-mouth audience in the southern hemisphere, particularly in South Africa (and NZ). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't quite a lost masterpiece, but there are moments where you wonder how on earth Rodriguez managed to escape wider recognition for so long: '\u003cstrong\u003eCrucify Your Mind', 'Forget It' \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e 'I Wonder'\u003c\/strong\u003e, in particular, nag away like half-remembered classics. His voice has the nervy, accusatory edge of mid-Sixties \u003cstrong\u003eDylan\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the music resembles a funky \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Wesley Harding\u003c\/strong\u003e: tight little songs built on acoustic guitar, light drums and bass, occasionally overlaid with strings or psychedelic flourishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRodriguez\u003c\/strong\u003e is clearly a writer with a singular vision, and although it's impossible to rewind the clock 40 years and award iconic status retrospectively, \u003cstrong\u003eCold Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mighty fine record that deserves the acclaim, bewilderingly, it was denied first time around. \u003cem\u003e(Guardian)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl, LP, Reissue, Remastered, 180 Gram \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1 Sugar Man \u003cbr\u003eA2 Only Good For Conversation \u003cbr\u003eA3 Crucify Your Mind \u003cbr\u003eA4 This Is Not A Song, It's An Outburst: Or, The Establishment Blues \u003cbr\u003eA5 Hate Street Dialogue \u003cbr\u003eA6 Forget It \u003cbr\u003eB1 Inner City Blues \u003cbr\u003eB2 I Wonder \u003cbr\u003eB3 Like Janis \u003cbr\u003eB4 Gommorah (A Nursery Rhyme) \u003cbr\u003eB5 Rich Folks Hoax \u003cbr\u003eB6 Jane S.
