Album Notes: Though he is most obviously known for his ubiquitous 'American Pie' thanks to the myriad interpretations of its lyrics, Don McLean has amassed a varied and respectable recording career. This release details the strongest moments from it, including (as well as his most famous song) other hit singles such as 'Vincent' and 'Wonderful Baby' (a tribute to Fred Astaire). McLean also famously recorded a version of Roy Orbison's 'Crying', with Orbison's enthusiastic approval. Included on the bonus DVD is an interview with McLean with journalist and broadcaster Paul Gambaccini, as well as several music videos.

...American Pie - DonMcClean
This album was originally released in 1971, this is the 1988 CD version, or at least the CD of the 1988 version (says 1988 on CD sleeve, though I do not remember CD's in 1988! Or maybe I just did not have any then, lol). According to various sources this album is amongst the 'best ever' American albums, really?
McClean was/is primarily a folk singer and this album, by all accounts was a 'one off', he certainly has little fame apart from this album. The album itself is quite an epic, particularly the title track 'American Pie', a song of over eight and a half minutes that tells a story that is a mix between psychedelia, Americana folk and angsty ballad. The famous line 'The day the music died' is referring to the air crash that killed Buddy Holly.
This album should not include 'Sister Fatima' according...

Advantages: Just listening Disadvantages: It ever has to end
...Everyone has heard of ?American Pie?, (the song, not the movie). Her Madgeness even did a cover version of it.
But not everybody will have heard of DonMcLean, the genius behind the song. And even fewer people will have bothered to listen to any of his other songs.
Nowadays, we live in a world where beauty is everything, where the better looking you are, the more attention is lavished upon you. We live in a time where trends are fleeting, and music changes so rapidly that it?s practically impossible to keep up, and when you lag behind you are pilloried as a loser.
Don Mclean was not a ?beautiful? man. He was never going to make it onto the front covers of glossy magazines.
DonMcLean did not produce music for the masses, his style was simple and unaffected by the changes in the music scene going on around him in the late 1970...
