Incredible song writer with a really unique / sad story. Wondering if you’ve heard of him?
I found about him from the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. I now play his two albums quite often. His first one is nice & upbeat, while his second one is more melancholy, so I play whichever fits the mood
My favorite song is probably Hate Street Dialogue
I also found him from the documentary. People like to compare him to Bob Dylan, but hot take I think it should be the other way around.
I'm not saying Bob didn't put out a handful of good songs, but IMO every single Rodriguez song slaps.
I have the same opinion about him being better for me at least. My favorite is “Like Janis” which is almost comparable to “Like a Rolling Stone “ in meaning. And I feel that his music ability was superior.
yesss, Rodriguez is so good. his lyrics are not only meaningful, but casual and relatable. broached real topics with such grace, it's a real shame he's not more well known. hate street dialogue is my favorite of his
