If You Wanna Laugh, You Gotta Cry Sometimes: Archives Vol. 3, 1972-1975 is yet another magical discovery from Georgia-born singer-songwriter and guitarist Robert Lester Folsom’s oeuvre of soft psychedelia and rural Southern rock n’ roll, written and recorded over fifty years ago yet prophetically relevant today. Born of lost summers, new love (and the breaks that follow), and hippie bluegrass shakes, these spirited takes to 4-track tape capture Folsom’s earliest wizardry. A prismatic window into a young artist finding their artistic footing, and a testament to why Folsom’s legacy burns bright to this day.
