His debut album, Beggar's Paradise, was released by Word Records in 1999 and was produced by Brent Bourgeois.[4] The album was described as "somewhere between pop-ified country and layered folk" by the Richmond Times-Dispatch[3] and "a '60s/'70s pop primer worth studying" by the Dayton Daily News.[5]CCM lauded his "commitment not to paint by the numbers" in his songwriting.[6]
He continues to work as a session musician with other artists on the Nashville scene, such as Kenny Rogers, Kenny Loggins, and Lee Ann Womack. Rodriguez also leads Nashville-based band The Alternators, which features Nashville session players that interchange as their schedules allow.
Rodriguez is divorced and has two children, Nicole and Andre.
Rodriguez was part of Shania Twain's "The Woman in Me" TV tour band 1995-96 performing selected international venues and television shows with the musicians Randy Thomas (co-writer of the song "Butterfly Kisses"), Dan Schafer, Russ Taff, Dave Malachowski, Marc Muller, Allison Cornell & Will Owsley.
