Robert Lester Folsom "Ode To A Rainy Day: Archives 1972-1975" LP

Orange vinyl!

'Ode' is the first collection of unearthed, unheard material from Georgia's favorite folk hero Robert Lester Folsom. Fans of his 1976 private press grail 'Music and Dreams' will revel in the carefully curated assemblage of mellow gold, including the prescient, potent cuts "See You Later, I'm Gone" and "Heaven on the Beach With You."

 'Ode' showcases both impeccable songwriting across light folk, downer pop, front porch rock and woodshed country tropes, combined with ingenious arrangements and technical skills across primitive recording equipment. The beauty of 'Ode' lies in its tracking of the seasons in its cycle, how each song feels like a different time of year.
