5.0 out of 5 stars bush days, 15 Oct 2004
By P. JONES "ithaba" (RSA, Durbs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cold Fact (Audio CD)
This legend, I had the privilege of seeing live in Durban, is unsung. Anyone who was forced to sit out their time in the South African Defence Force will know this album by heart. It is music in its own class. His way of putting the rot of society so beautifully across as music is what influenced me in my growing up years. to see through the trees, cut the cr*p and be a better person. i am really not worthy of giving a rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lost Icon of Rock - listen and decide for yourself, 6 Oct 2005
By S. Pasture "jonathan4759" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cold Fact (Audio CD)
'Sugarman, won't you hurry/'cos I'm tired of this road/Lost my heart, when I'd found it/it had turned to jet black coal'

The opening bars to one of the best drug songs of all time. Rodriquez somehow got overlooked by the music moguls in the early 70s, but he should be up there with Dylan, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen. (Cold Fact was Rodriguez' debut album, but nobody noticed and he has been living in Detroit as a construction worker).
His lyrics of love, loss, drugs in a city of ruin evoke the same rich imagery of, say, Powderfinger (Neil Young). I had this on vinyl, thank god it's been re-released.

'My troubles just drive my mind/My mother treats me slow/My statue's got a concrete heart'
Buy this album and be comforted that there are still hidden treasures out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Blast, 2 Aug 2007
By Peter R. Moore "no ta" (malton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cold Fact (Audio CD)
I remember coming across this album at a place called Bronkhustspurt (sic) in S Africa around about 1975. I was blown away by "I Wonder", as were many others. Once I got my hands on the full album it went on to make a seminal impact on my teenage angst.

I could have got a copy by downloading a torrent or whatever but such are my happy memories of this album it's worth paying for. If you have not heard this album you are missing out.

SIX stars not FIVE.

An all-time classic that will be remembered, unfortunately, only by southern hemisphere dwellers. Sounds like it was recorded in the 1920's using a tin can as a microphone but... Read more
