About this album

Coming From Reality is a haunting and understated folk-rock album that confirms Sixto Rodriguez as a singular songwriter rather than a cult curiosity. Issued in 1971, it followed Cold Fact and deepened his blend of acoustic guitar, soft rock melody and sharp social observation, with songs such as Climb Up On My Music and Cause balancing wit, melancholy and political unease. Though it was overlooked on release, the album later helped secure Rodriguez’s reputation as one of the era’s most compelling lost voices. Its blend of psychedelic colour and plainspoken lyricism has made it a touchstone for listeners drawn to deeply personal protest music.
