Im a huge fan of this man any other fans in here? I saw him in brisbane last year hes the ripe old age of 68 sounded unreal love his work i got a photo aswell couldnt believe cold fact is one of the best albums ive ever heard I cant believe sixto rodriguez is only really known in Australia south africa and new zealand virtually unknown in the states very sad ill be happy if theres even 1 other fan in here.

tim buckley's ' greetings from la ' aint bad either
 
I know the song.. can't say i've listened to many other songs of his..
it's quite a chilling song and he sings it with a fair bit of emotion..
 
thanks for the replys everyone i love rodriquezs bluesy stuff hes a natural poet aswell…..wish he had of brought out more songs....
 
Hey Easy Tiger, what a great album , Cold Fact was…every track on it , you could listen to them over & over.
Crucify your mind as my favorite..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVdWXqtk484
**CRUCIFY YOUR MIND**
Was it a huntsman or a player
That made you pay the cost
That now assumes relaxed positions
And prostitutes your loss?
Were you tortured by your own thirst
In those pleasures that you seek
That made you Tom the curious
That makes you James the weak?

And you claim you got something going
Something you call unique
But I've seen your self-pity showing
As the tears rolled down your cheeks

Soon you know I'll leave you
And I'll never look behind
'Cos I was born for the purpose
That crucifies your mind
So con, convince your mirror
As you've always done before
Giving substance to shadows
Giving substance ever more

And you assume you got something to offer
Secrets shiny and new
But how much of you is repetition
That you didn't whisper to him too

I'll slip away is also a great track… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnUPz3iez1A

**I'LL SLIP AWAY**
2.50
And I'll forget about the girl that said no
Then I'll tell who I want where to go
And I'll forget about your lies and deceit
And your attempts to be so discreet

Maybe today, yeah
I'll slip away

**And you can keep your symbols of success
Then I'll pursue my own happiness
And you can keep your clocks and routines
Then I'll go mend all my shattered dreams**
Maybe today, yeah
I'll slip away

Cause you've been down on me for too long
And for too long I just put you on
Now I'm tired of lying and I'm sick of trying
Cause I'm losing who I really am
And I'm not choosing to be like them

And if you get bored and you got loneliness
Or it's dislike for me you express
I won't care if you're right or you're wrong
I won't care cause you see I'll be gone

Maybe today, yeah
I'll slip away

Maybe today, yeah
Maybe today, yeah
Maybe today, yeah girl
I'll slip away

CAN'T GET AWAY
