		This tour however celebrates 25 years of continued success for Don since "American Pie' first hit the UK charts in 1972 to today when his latest album, "The River of Love' is widely available and the music of Don McLean is just as popular as ever.
		The album is a mixture of pop, country, and blues including 10 new songs all written by Don McLean and recorded with the superb string arrangements of Tony Migilore who accompanies Don on this the 25th Anniversary UK tour.
		In the wake of American Pie, Don became a major concert attraction and was able to call upon material not only from his two albums but from a tremendous repertoire of old concert hall numbers and the complete catalogues of singers such as Buddy Holly, and another McLean influence, Frank Sinatra.

	Don McLean Online's American Pie
		Initially inspired by his memories of the death of Buddy Holly in 1959, ‘American Pie’ is autobiographical and presents an abstract story of Don McLean’s life from the mid 1950s until when he wrote the song in the late 1960s.
		It is almost entirely symbolised by the evolution of popular music over these years and represents a change from the lightness of the 1950s to the darkness of the late 1960s.
		Most mainstream analyses of American Pie are at least partly based on Bob Dearborn's interpretation of the song that he produced for his radio show in 1971.

	Review: American Pie
		American Pie is a wacky slice of High School as we always dreamed it could be, with sexy foreign exchange students, no time actually spent in class, and big keg parties where everybody gets laid.
		I've seen American Pie readily compared to Porky's, which was also the epitome of bad-taste.
		American Pie is a funny movie with some GREAT moments, but the fact that it tries to teach us something about sex and something about ourselves pulls it down.

		The others are a children’s album, You’ve Got to Share, that he recorded with his 13-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son, a collection of Western songs called, appropriately enough, The Western Album, and a compilation work, The Legendary Songs of Don McLean.
		When he came along with just his acoustic guitar and his voice, releasing his first album, Tapestry, in 1970, one of the most popular bands in the world was Led Zeppelin — which also was one of the loudest.
		Nearly 40 albums later, McLean, 57, still hasn’t settled on a particular musical style, bouncing between rock, folk and rhythm and blues, and the disparate influences of such early heroes as Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Irving Berlin, Oscar Hammerstein and the songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, of Hound Dog fame.
