9/30/22.

I'd never heard of Robert Lester Folsom (Georgia). But when I saw that Anthology Records (recently released the excellent Norma Tanega retrospective) was responsible for releasing classic 1976 album and other LPs of unreleased demos and music, I jumped right in.

This is definitely a product of its time. You can hear Neil Young, America and to some extent Love/Arthur Lee, but this isn't an artist rip-off. Folsom definitely has an ear for music and melody.

Today, this would fit right in with Curation Records catalogue.

“I was kind of a dreamy child—a Curious George baby. As a child, people told me they thought I’d grow up to be a poet. You have to wonder what kind of kid someone would say that to.”

Mark Sandman, 1952 – 1999
