Roosevelt Holts - Sun Gonna Shine (2025)

Roosevelt Holts was an authentic Mississippi bluesman whose work bridged Delta acoustic traditions and the electric sound of Louisiana. A protégé of the legendary Tommy Johnson, he remained largely obscure for decades. The album Sun Gonna Shine compiles rare recordings made between 1966 and 1973 by folklorist David Evans. This release marks the digital debut of Holts' legacy, showcasing his mastery of traditional blues and gospel.
