American Pie
Don McLean

Other than the iconic title track and uptempo piece Everybody Loves Me, Baby this is largely an acoustic folk album. There's some good stuff here, particularly Till Tomorrow and the piano driven Crossroads, but I'm not ready to call this a great album. Surely a great single, and at 8 and a half minutes, it's nearly a quarter of the album, so that counts for something. Edges it into *** territory.
