Sleeve Notes:
Since South Africas re-admission into the international arena, we have been fortunate to see a number of established artists perform in the country, such as The Rolling Stores, Michael Jackson and U2. But probably the most surprising and unexpected tour (greeted in most cases with a sense of amazement and disbelief) was a tour by one Sixto Rodriguez.
Long a South African phenomenon, Rodriguez has spawned many an urban legend in South Africa. Suicide, incarceration for life and death by drug overdose were some of the stories doing the rounds on the supposed untimely demise of this mysterious performer. The reality is in fact the complete opposite, Rodriguez is alive and well.
His daughter Eva had this to say about Rodriguez in 1997 - "My father is in great health, physically and mentally. In my eyes he is ageless, creative, strong, intellectual and different. He has kept his hand and mind on music, living a surprisingly average and somewhat alternative life. He has raised three daughters, laboured, got an education, ran for political office and pays dues and debts like the rest of us."
"Live Fact" was recorded during his sold-out Johannesburg shows, and is a fitting reminder of what it feels like to attend a Rodriguez concert. South Africans have always related to Rodriguez heartfelt lyrics and honest music, and the concert was a reflection of what Rodriguez stands for - peace, love, honesty and music.
It was an amazing experience to hear the crowd sing along and know virtually all the lyrics to every song. If you were at one of the shows, you will know exactly what Im talking about. If you missed him perform live, this album is a taste of what it felt like.

热门评论
- @南瓜：瑞典导演马利克·本德让劳尔去世，终年36岁。警方未透露死因，已排除他杀。感谢他让小糖人为大众熟知，让一个已经埋没40年的艺术家重见天日，这张专辑是影片中Rodriguez到南非演出的完整录音，从第一首歌的Bass前奏开始就把你带入一场传奇的演唱会。
