Cold Fact album Product Description

The folks at the modest Seattle imprint Light In The Attic have dedicated themselves to providing the public with carefully assembled re-issues of forgotten soul, reggae, and psychedelic albums, and have scored yet another triumph with their reissue of Rodirguez's neglected psychedelic folk masterpiece, COLD FACT. Born to a Mexican immigrant family in Detroit, Sixto Diaz Rodriguez honed his guitar playing skills in between shifts at Detroit's larger auto plants. In the late `60s he attracted the attention of guitar-slinger extraordinaire Dennis Coffey and soon thereafter recorded COLD FACT for Coffey's Sussex label. COLD FACT is a singular amalgamation of gentle folk and dreamy psychedelic production touches that sounds today like a more soulful variant of Donovan's psych-pop excursions of the late `60s. Limited ed.180 gram vinyl includes bonus 7 inch single. It's one of the lost classics of the '60s, a psychedelic masterpiece drenched in colour and inspired by life, love, poverty, rebellion, and, of course, "jumpers, coke, sweet mary jane". ...See Full Description

Classic
Wonderful combination of 60's storytelling and melody without falling into the cliché sounds of that era.

Forgotten gem
Rodriguez' candle was snuffed out far too early. He was an incredibly talented musician, although somewhat irreverent. If you are coy, don't buy this. But if you like to listen to someone's honest heart this is truly great both lyrically and musically. I wish he had lived to perform more music. This is a classic. I am just suprised he is not better known.

A CLASSIC.......A GENUINE CLASSIC
This album should be included in those 100 best-of lists in music magazines. It is without a doubt a classic. I heard this cd only a couple of years ago and and played it continuosly for months on end. Such a great singer-songwriter. SUGARMAN and CRUCIFY YOUR MIND are my favourite tracks even though all the songs are good. If you like GARLAND JEFFRIES and CAT STEVENS you will love this. BUY THIS NOW!

Sound system cranked up and I'm away !!!
Unbelievable...don't even know where to find the words!!!Suffice to say that after the CBS documentary on Sugarman I ripped up the stairs to my computer and immediately bought three of the cds Rodriguez has made. For those of us who experienced the 60s and 70s, such as I did, discovering who I was, in Toronto,this music will have your mind searching for all the references ( Dylan,Beatles, Donovan.. only the obvious)of all that you loved about that time. poetic, not a moment outdated,I am loving Coming From Reality at the moment,sound system cranked up and I'm embraced by it all. What a bloody miracle ! Only adding to the amazingness of it all is Sixto's story of revival which you can read on the website.
