Robert Lester Folsom is an American guitarist and engineer hailing from Adel, Georgia. With a unique blend of folk, rock, and psychedelic influences, Folsom has captivated audiences with his soulful melodies and intricate guitar work.

Inspired by artists such as Triste Janero, Jim Sullivan, and Ted Lucas, Folsom's music transports listeners to another time and place. His introspective lyrics delve into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

Folsom's talent as both a musician and engineer shines through in his recordings. His attention to detail creates a rich sonic landscape that enhances the emotional depth of his songs. Drawing inspiration from legends like Fred Neil and John Fahey, Folsom pushes the boundaries of traditional folk music.

Sunshine Only Sometimes: Archives Vol. 2, 1972–1975 continues Anthology Recordings’ exploration, and excavation, of southern singer, songwriter, and psychedelic serviceman Robert Lester Folsom’s bountiful archives. Recorded across Georgia in various bedrooms, a barn, and a motel room with a Sears 2-track reel-to-reel and a revolving cast of whip smart studio musicians in the first half of a dazed and confused decade, Sunshine Only Sometimes furthers Folsom’s place in the canon of long lost but eventually found independently spirited, high-flying American folk rock. Transferred from the original session reels, restored and mastered by Jessica Thompson, and made available on vinyl for the first time, Sunshine Only Sometimes also features essays from Folsom and the players that helped make his music and dreams a reality.
