With his instantly recognizable vocals, Don McLean remains one of the most revered and respected songwriters in American history. After paying his dues in the New York club scene in the late '60s, he went on to score mega-hits like "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)," "Castles in the Air" and the cultural touchstone "American Pie." Future hits following "American Pie" included "Castles In The Air" while McLean also paid tribute to Roy Orbison's influence with a 1980 hit recording of "Crying." Classics is a ten-track collection that gathers all of the aforementioned hits as well as a new version of "American Pie." 180g vinyl 2LP-set.
