If you don't already know, let us fill you in on a little secret: Rodriguez is kind of a big deal. After a lengthy departure from the music business, this pioneering Detroit-born folk singing soul brother came back with a ''BANG'' in 2008-9 after Light In The Attic's re-release of his psychedelic opus Cold Fact (LITA 036), followed by the beautifully Donovan-esque Coming From Reality (LITA 038). Since headlining his first proper US show ever at the historic Joe's Pub in NYC on September 3rd, 2008, Rodriguez hit the road, playing to curious and captivated crowds all over North America, Europe, Australia, and South Africa. Underground for so long, and equally content pouring over books and newspapers at the Detroit Public Library, the politically minded Rodriguez is clearly not clamoring for a quick buck or interested in playing the rock star game. After a glance at the fabricated pop charts, this is refreshing realness. Just ask the youngbloods (his young fans, as Rodriguez calls them) who sat with their hero after each show, getting not only autographs, but sage advice and warm encouragement from the now veteran musician. Even in our wildest dreams, we couldn't be happier. So in celebration of Record Store Day, we bring you a taste of the legendary singer-songwriter's LIVE experience. The self-penned ''Inner City Blues'' b/w Sinatra's ''I'm Gonna Live Till I Die'' (LITA 45-018) catches Rodriguez in perfect form, channeling the type of soul and creativity that puts today's younger generation breed of retro-minded pop-rock mavens to shame. Armed with guitar in tow, Rodriguez acknowledges his own mortality, the inevitable struggles of life, and every single break he's ever received. He simply doesn't take his music career for granted. And in turn, we simply can't resist his hard-working life's story, his music, his stage banter, or his omnipresent charm, for every tune he's written, each brick he's laid, every political step he's made, has been done with LOVE. He is nothing but the real deal. So before our time here is up, remember that the stereo is on, candles lit, and the fine wine poured. Come listen with us! Through a captivating world of song, Rodriguez has already changed our lives. Now let him change yours. Tracklisting: Side A: Inner City Blues (Recorded live on the streets of Paris, June 12, 2009) Side B: I'm Gonna Live Till I Die (Recorded live at The Triple Door, Seattle, June 23, 2009)
