I took umbrage when one of Rodriguez former producers said Dylan wasn't even in the same league as this guy?! I mean. come on!

To be fair Dylan as a perfomer was notoriously below par. Can't really comment on Rodriguez as a performer as he never made it in his prime.

Songwriting is a different category.
 
I'm getting Dylan, A bit of Hendrix, J.J. Cale's mellowness mixed with a bit of 60's blues. The organ on "I Wonder" is sublime, just dropped in the background. As is the bass. Best song on the album for me. I've not watched the documentary but I have no idea why this album and artist weren't recognised. Seems bang on for the era. My only gripe about the album is the similarity between a lot of the songs. I've enjoyed listening to it 4 times over the past 24 hours, yes I have nothing else to do!

It gets a solid 7 from me. I liked it.
