    Rodriguez has some Coffey involvement. He was supposed to perform at the Black Merda/Fugi/Cody Black show, but no dice. Funky.

    and some of the fucking HARDEST sounds on another break later with a horrible pattern that can be chopped into basically a harder-sounding synthetic substitution break.

    do you know what im talking about? i forgot about it till a few months ago and the sounds blew my mind.

    both rodriguez's are great. good songwriter- a bit dylan-ish with his vocals at times but i love that stuff. local detroit artist- folk/rock but with some psych-ish twists at times. coffey production, yes.

    The Rodriguez isn't funky but I really like that album...very soulful rock tunes, definitely with a Dylan-esque quality as someone else noted. "Sugar Man" is the shit.

    what are some of these like? :
    SXBS 7000 - Cold Fact - Rodriguez [1971]

    1965-era Bob Dylan through a Latin filter. Classic stuff. Scorpio, or somebody, recently re-pressed this on vinyl.

    SXBS 7002 - Gypsy Queen - Priscilla [1970]

    Haven't heard it, but I can tell you that this gorgeous Memphis hippie chick was married to Booker T. (of "& the MG's" fame) at the time.

    SXBS 7005 - 5-10-15-20-25-30 Years of Love - Presidents [1971]

    Really good harmony group soul.

    SXBS 7008 - Wadsworth Mansion - Wadsworth Mansion

    Terrible rock album. Their hit was "Sweet Mary" and was actually really good. Too bad they rerecorded it for the album; the new version is sluggish as all hell. Get the 45, if you can deal with 1970-style rock music.

    SXBS 7017 - Nice to Be with You - Gallery

    Bland soft-rock group who were famous for about five minutes in the early 70's. The title track was one of their hits.

    Honestly, I think the Colf Fact Rodriguez is horrible. I don't like it at all. Not even close to Dylanesque.
