Don McLean: A Musical Tapestry
"Don McLean: A musical tapestry recounts the artist's early development, including the influence of Pete Seeger and Lee Hays, his engagement with social, political, and cultural phenomena through music, and the incorporation of visual elements into his songs. Working chronologically, from Tapestry (1970) to American Pie (1971) all the way through to American Boys (2024), the book explores the reception of McLean's work in the wake of the success of American Pie, concluding with a consideration of how the artist ultimately came to terms with the cultural impact of his most famous song, "American Pie.""--
