Biografie
His music is difficult to categorise as it fuses elements of Rock, Folk, Jazz, Soul, Blues and even Classical flourishes. Rodriguez is a singer-songwriter in the social commentary style of Bob Dylan, with the feel of the old Blues masters and even touches of Rock and Roll. Rodriguez says he loves the Rolling Stones and Jimmy Reed (an old blues singer, best known for songs like Big Boss Man and Bri
ght Lights, Big City). He is also a big fan of the Australian supergroup Midnight Oil with whom he toured in 1981.
My inspiration comes from the environment and personal angst...each song is written to a theme...
- Rodriguez, March 1998
I've always concentrated on social issues, because I've always found it easiest to write about things that upset me. But I can (and have) explored the boy-girl theme in music and I enjoy writing ballads too.
- Rodriguez, March 1998
His sound is timeless and doesn't date...it still sounds fresh today. This timeless appeal was evident on the SA tours, in March 1998 and September 2001, when the audience at the sold-out concerts included everyone from young children to over-the-hill burnt-out hippies!
