Hail and Farewell .......2007-03-14

This is likely to be his last album. Mark Spoelstra died Feb. 24, 2007 at the age of 66. As it was, he had left the music business behind him in the early 70s to raise a family and lead an ordinary life. "Out Of My Hands" is a return to recording and it's a good record to be remembered by, anyway. Many of the songs are his favorites that he has worked on over time. The album is a mix of songs and intrumentals. His singing and guitar work are strong; the recording is intimate without a hint of reverb. The liner notes contain many of Spoelstra's own comments about his music. Overall, this is one fine record to listen to and remember and celebrate a folk music orginal.

Amazing.......2007-02-25

Wow. We just bought this CD, and I'm totally in love with it.
I've never had the pleasure of meeting Mark - he is my husband's uncle.
Chip has some great memories of listening to his uncle play the guitar and sing.
I highly recommend this CD and any other of Mark's. He is a rare and gifted musician and songwriter.

Question.......2003-06-09

I haven't heard this album. I remember mark singing "He was a friend of mine" in the mid 60's. Is it available on cd or anywhere?

What a pleasant suprise!.......2002-07-29

I've often checked the web for any info on "What ever happened to Mark Spoelstra.." and now I know. He's back! Really an enjoyable album -he can still play that 12-string and the 6-string too. His blues sound so right - how come they call it the blues when it makes you smile so? I first heard his music when we were in alternative service orientation in 1963 and its just as good today. I would would enjoy him recording "Just a closer walk with thee" which he played back then but worried that it might be too bluesy for the church he was going to be performing in! Hope this isn't the last album - and I hope it gets noticed! It deserves it!

The Return of a Legend.......2002-03-04

I've been a fan of Mark Spoelstra's music since the mid-sixties and have acquired everything he has done. I can recommend " Out of my Hands" to anybody whose is into acoustic/blues/american folk. Mark has always been his own man, never mimicking black blues artists unlike many of his comtemporaries from the 60s. He always brings that elusive " something" to his recordings, that quality that make his records " special". Buy this record and obtain a piece of a true American original.
