American Pie & Other Hits Review

07/13/2005 5:52 AM, AMG


American Pie & Other Hits is a solid, ten-track sampler of Don McLean's career, containing his pair of big hits ("American Pie," "Vincent"), plus the minor hits "Dreidel," "If We Try" and "Castles in the Air." McLean had a few other hits, including a Top Ten cover of Roy Orbison's "Crying," plus some worthwhile album tracks, but for casual fans who just want the hits, this will do nicely. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
