Don McLean - BBC Sessions, Volume 7: In Concert, Cambridge Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall Grounds, Cambridge, Britain, 7-28-1990

When I first posted a BBC album by Don McLean, I hadn't found much by him yet, and I thought I might end up with maybe three BBC albums. But here I am with a seventh one, and an eighth on the way. This is an acoustic concert from 1990.

The reason I found two more is thanks to musical friend Progsprog. This one was particularly rare. I got some other BBC albums by a die-hard McLean fan, and even that person didn't know of this one. So hopefully this will put it into wider circulation. With it being a BBC recording, the sound quality is excellent.

By 1990, McLean was far from his 1970s commercial heyday. But he was still releasing new music, and his 1990 album "Headroom" got good reviews. He only performed two songs from it here though, "Headroom" and "Have You Seen Me," done together. But he included some unusual choices, along with the obligatory "Vincent" and "American Pie."

This album is 52 minutes long.
