Rodriguez Sugar Man Youtube
2009 December 9
WARNING Nostalgia Moment: In the early seventies there was an album called Cold Fact by Rodriguez I saw at most parties I went to, it was one of those albums that fell into the category of alternative at that time. Alternative back then didn’t mean grungy guitars or the equivalent to today, it meant non mainstream it very cool in some way. I couldn’t locate a good live recording of Rodriguez (without the whole audience singing it with him). I felt it was very relevant to acoustic guitar music of the seventies and extremely nostalgic, I decided to post about this youtube video version of the song

Never heard of him, but I keep running into some really rare finds from this same era. I’ll give Mr. Rodriguez a listen to – this is actually a really nice song.
