Tapestry

Don McLean

A quiet, socially conscious debut of fingerpicked folk. Sparse arrangements and a rich baritone voice explore the fading corners of the American landscape.

April 1970 · United Artists Records

Find on Amazon

A quiet, observant melancholy that finds beauty in the fading and the forgotten.

The writing leans far further into social commentary than the rest of the catalogue.
