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.

    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
