Wi: Rodriguez is a hit?

I'll jump in since no one else is, mr1940s.

I would argue that a different producer and/or different record label might do the trick. Someone with a more hands-on attitude towards promotion would probably help. I was trying to find an article about Rodriguez's political missteps but could not.

A more radicalized 1970s, one less burned out on politics, might have worked, too. Perhaps if Bobby Kennedy had escaped assassination and become President, Rodriguez would have fit in with the times more...as long as his producer and/or record label helped him out.
 
His albums are a little overproduced. A rawer approach, a la Let It Be vs Let It Be Naked, might have made him catch on. The songs themselves are great, they just get wrapped in a bit of musical cotton wool.
