“Imagine spending the prime years of one’s life, slowly honing one’s skills as a guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and fledgling producer/engineer, only to have the developed fruits of your labor passed over by industry, radio, even those who you may have connected with earlier. Such was the fate of Music And Dreams, a wonderful, privately-issued album released by Robert Lester Folsom in 1976 that’s very special to us here at Anthology Recordings, and an all-new collection of his home recordings, entitled Ode To A Rainy Day: Archives 1972-1975.”
Ο Robert Lester Folsom ήταν στην Georgia των ‘60s, όταν με το reel-to-reel tape recorder του, μάζευε ήχους από παντού, ώσπου κυκλοφόρησε την 8-track tape του. Από αυτήν προέκυψε το Ode To A Rainy Day, ενώ το Music And Dreams ως πιο homemade, ήταν το private lp που έκανε το 1976. Light folk, downer pop, front porch rock με περίτεχνες ενορχηστρώσεις. Μια ακόμη ανακάλυψη από την Anthology Recordings.
