Robert Lester Folsom- "I Don't Know"

Decades after Robert Lester Folsom first channeled his soft psychedelic gravity into a four-track recorder, these rural rock relics emerge from the Anthology vaults with the dusty, ancient grace of a long-lost transmission. On lead track “I Don’t Know,” the wizardlike Southern songwriter transforms his 1972 home-recorded sketches into something that shines on with remarkable clarity, proving that even fifty years down the road, his quiet brilliance hasn't lost an ounce of its pull.
