Casey's Really Scratchy Record Party: American Pie

 Today I am featuring my really scratchy vinyl  copy of Don McLean's album, "American Pie" Nice folk-rock sounds from 1972.  In addition to the title track, the album contains his other big hit, "Vincent". A lot of the songs on the record feature just Don's voice and guitar. He also plays banjo on one cut. Many of these tunes sound like they were influenced by Paul Simon.  The background singers on the album were dubbed, The 44th Street Rhythm & Noise Choir and supposedly featured Pete Seeger, Carly Simon and James and Livingston Taylor.  That is some choir.  Take a listen on The Mighty 88!  88.1 FM WDUS.
