Don McLean Returns.
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about Don McLean. You know this legendary singer songwriter as the artist behind some of the most iconic songs of Americana music. In this episode, we chat about his new children's book 'Vincent: Starry children's Night'. This is the second children's book based on one of his classic songs. The first one was titled 'American Pie, The Fable By Don McLean'. There will be five books in total, so 3 more to come! The books are written by Judith A. Profer, illustrated by Yoko Matsuoka, and released by Meteor 17 Books. In this episode, we also discuss his newest studio album called 'American Boys'. The album came out earlier this year, and as Don tells it; this may be his last studio record. He explains why, and we do a bit of a dive into a couple of the songs on this record, plus he lets me play the title track! I ask Don what he is listening to these days, his thoughts on the current state of songwriting, and he fills us in on some upcoming projects. Make sure you check out these children's books, and Don's new record American Boys. Also, for more information about upcoming projects and tour dates; go to DonMcLean.com
