Rodriguez was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1942, about a year after Dylan. However unlike Dylan who came from a middle-class background, 5 Rodriguez was the sixth child of blue-collar working class, first generation Mexican immigrant parents. 6 Dylan and Rodriguez grew up in the same country at the same time. Rooted in folk and blues, Rodriguez's songs are intimate and poetic and address complex issues like the urban squalor and class divisions in Detroit, love, sex and misogyny, and in many ways the failure of the "American dream" -comparisons to Dylan were inevitable. Yet by 1972, while Dylan had not only firmly established himself as an artist and released his 11 th album -New Morning (1970) -but had also been heralded as a prophet and the "voice of his generation", 7 Rodriguez disappeared into obscurity after releasing just two albums, both of which tanked.
