Retro Reviews: Rodriguez: Cold Fact | Music From The Big Chair

Why isn’t anyone paying attention to Rodriguez? This Mexican troubadour’s candid, incisive lyrics rival Dylan’s, with a stronger, more accessible voice. He feels authentically street-smart, not merely feigning it. His observations suggest he’s witnessed real squalor. ‘Cold Fact’ is an outstanding debut from someone who insists on breaking down society’s facades.
