Don McLean is set to air in the US next week.Produced and directed by Jim Brown, Don McLean: American Troubadour arrives 50 years after the singer-songwriter’s iconic anthem ‘American Pie’ topped the US Billboard chart in 1972.“I let Jim Brown into my life because I respect him and trust him,” McLean said in a press release. “We’ve known each other for forty years and he allowed my ideas to be fully realised while telling my story accurately and poetically.”McLean granted unprecedented access and interviews for the film, revealing his personal account of a career spanning over five decades and performing songs that have become integral parts of US pop culture.Don McLean: American Troubadour will also feature live performances of ‘American Pie’, ‘Vincent’, ‘Crying’ and ‘And I Love You So’ along with interviews with artists such as Brian Wilson and REM’s Mike Mills and more.“Don McLean is a true artist and rugged individualist,” Brown said. “He has deep American values that have defined an amazing and admirable life.
I think some of his best work is yet to be discovered, and that people will be listening to, singing, and recording his songs for decades to come.”Don McLean: American Troubadour will air Memorial Day (May 30) on RFD-TV at 8pm EST with a repeat at midnight EST.McLean is currently in the midst of a North American tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ‘American Pie’.
