Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Rodriguez's distinctive psych-folk points of reference range from Bob Dylan and Donovan to Arthur Lee and a more street-level take on Jose Feliciano.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "COMING FROM REALITY is a mix of ride-my-rainbow trippiness and laid-back sensitive-maleness fueled by rage rather than good vibes.", "Opener 'Climb Up on My Music' is a mellow, organ-heavy Steppenwolf/Santana jam with a screaming guitar riff...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The likes of 'I Think Of You' and 'Two Whom It May Concern' should find favour with any fans of Love or Tim Buckley.", "Alongside his odd, streetwise talking blues are string-laden ballads that recall Van Morrison's ASTRAL WEEKS."

Additional InformationUnsung Detroit bard's 1971 sophomore release of richly embroidered but nightmarish folk-rock: a masterpiece on par with COLD FACT.
To think that this man influenced South Africans to question apartheid at that time without his knowledge is remarkable.
To think that America and consequently the World did not applaud his music in his time is also remarkable.
Poignant lyrics in very listenable scores- brilliant!
