It sure doesn’t sound like a 1981 update. Sounds pretty much like the original, just a little more acoustic guitar and lower volume piano. Better studio, different singer.

He did a great version of Roy Orbison's Crying.

Wow. I never heard that version before. Impressive. McLean has a great vocal range.

He was a true artist... I remember when he was asked about the meaning of American Pie... His answer: “I’ll never have to work again.”
