Sixto Rodriguez, the legendary icon responsible for ageless classics such as "Sugar Man," "I Wonder" and "Climb up on My Music," releases a new live album comprised of recordings taken from his wildly successful 2014 tour of Australia. The legendary self-taught guitarist's love affair with Australia is well documented, and 'Rodriguez Rocks: Live In Australia' perfectly captures the chemistry that the platinum selling artist shares with his fans down under. 'Rodriguez Rocks: Live In Australia' provides a glimpse into the electric atmosphere that followed Rodriguez' tour around Australia in 2014. The album features Rodriguez originals that have etched themselves rock 'n' roll history, as well as a few cover tunes that the Detroit, Michigan singer-songwriter indeed makes his own. Opening up proceedings with perennial favourite "Climb up on My Music" off his 1971 studio album 'Coming from Reality,' Rodriguez takes a walk through a back catalogue that made him a legend. "Street Boy," which was originally released on Rodriguez' first Australian live album, 1981's 'Alive,' makes an appearance, while his cover of Jefferson Airplane's counterculture classic "Somebody To Love" is a shining example of the all-encompassing nature of Rodriguez' music taste. The final tune on the album is also taken from the pen of another music legend, with Frank Sinatra's "Learnin' the Blues" getting the Sixto Rodriguez treatment to a tee.

RODRIGUEZ RESUURECTED!!
About 10 years ago Rodriguez made it to Australia after his huge success in South Africa, and yet he lived in poverty in Detroit till the making of "Looking for Sugarman" movie! He was /is the Canadian Bob Dylan. Why he was ignored? I will leave it to righteous thinking readers and listeners to make their own conclusions. Also, watch Rodriguez on David Letterman show! By this time he was partially blind from working at demotions to make ends meet! What a great story! You can never ever keep a great talent down! VIva Rodriguez!

This CD contains a good mix of some of Rodriguez's best songs
This CD contains a good mix of some of Rodriguez's best songs. It is well edited to include just enough crowd reaction and time between songs. Rodriguez is clearly enjoying himself as he performs. The sound is great.

As far as live recordings, it was average.
It is an old live recording which means at best it is of average quality. But it is Rodriquez and there will never be another unless the South Africans have one of his concerts on tape somewhere. For those who are fans of the late troubadour, this is a must have for your library or collection.

I bought this CD at one of his Bay Area (CA) concerts (from his granddaughter who was running the merchandise booth). This CD is an excellent live recording - quality production. If you love or even just like Rodriguez - you should get this CD. I've listened to it many times - I really love it! Songs include:1. Climb Up On My Music2. I Wonder3. Sugar Man4. Rich Folks Hoax5. Inner City Blues6. Street Boy7. I'm Gonna Live Til I Die8. Just One Of Those Things9. Somebody To Love10. Learnin' The BluesMy CD lists only nine songs - but it has a tenth. Bottomline: a must have!

Rodríguez en vivo!
Desconocía por completo el lanzamiento de este raro disco en vivo OFICIAL de 2014. El sonido es excelente, mi única queja es que son muy pocas canciones. Sin problema pudieran ser otras 15. Faltaron muchos clásicos de este genio.

From the guy who bought you Once upon a time in Mexico and Desperado.. Rodriguez is back!!!
I'm a huge fan of all Robert Rodriguez's movies, I would have to say Desperado is my favourite, followed by Once Upon A Time in Mexico, it's great to see him making music again. This is fantastic, a truly talented director and musician!!
