Only a very few songs have managed to establish themselves as part of the lexicon of pop culture to the level of Don McLean‘s American Pie. Now, 50 years after it’s release, and on this, the anniversary of “The Day The Music Died” on Feb 3rd, 1959, you have a chance to listen to a new version of the song by Don McLean and Home Free. It’s a rendition that rivals the power of the original.

Please join the We Talk Music podcast for this discussion with Don McLean covering how the Home Free version came to be and the history of one of the most popular songs in American history. From the composition, the players on the song, his other works of note and more, Don McLean is as candid and honest as can be, and it’s a terrific listen.

It’s a true honor for us, so please listen and share to help spread the word.
