New Song Collection By Maine Songwriter Randy Spencer

Released 7/22/09

GRAND LAKE STREAM, MAINE – Eleven new songs comprise “Footprints In The Sand,” Randy Spencer’s fifth CD release, produced by Star Route Recording.

The songwriting Master Maine Guide, whose sketch appeared on the front page of The Wall Street Journal in 2005 and whom Yankee Magazine named in 2008 one of “The 25 People You Need to Meet Most this Summer,” works as a fishing guide along the Canadian border in the tiny eastern Maine hamlet of Grand Lake Stream, where many of his songs are written.

When Spencer learned that a best friend’s house had burned down, the song, “My Old Friend,” was born. When recession tore through Maine’s economy and friends and neighbors lost jobs, “Blue Collar Soul” emerged. “Dancin’ Tonight” is dedicated to a couple whose spontaneous rug-cutting delights the local community.

Spencer’s song, “Black Flies,” about Maine’s “devils in disguise,” topped Maine and Maritime charts in 1981. A 55-song, five-CD box set anthology will follow “Footprints,” along with a new Islandport Press book, “Where Cool Waters Flow, Four Seasons with a Master Maine Guide,” later this summer. Spencer’s CDs also available from Islandport Press.

“You’d be hard-pressed to find a stronger, or more vocal, advocate for the glories of life in the Maine North Woods than Randy,” says Maine humorist Tim Sample, who performed this year with Spencer at the Annual Grand Lake Stream 4th of July Festival.
