Our Take

Don McLean's latest album, "Botanical Gardens," is a delightful stroll through the mind of a musical legend. With his signature storytelling style, McLean weaves tales of love, loss, and the beauty of nature into each track.

The album opens with the title track, a whimsical ode to the wonders of botanical gardens. McLean's vocals are as smooth as silk, effortlessly gliding over the lush instrumentation. The lyrics are poetic and introspective, painting a vivid picture of a serene garden sanctuary.

Tracks like "Waving Man" and "My Love" showcase McLean's ability to blend folk, pop, and country influences with ease. His songwriting is as sharp as ever, with each chorus hooking you in like a fish on a line.

"Vincent's Absinthe Dreams" is a standout track, with its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics paying homage to the legendary painter Vincent van Gogh. McLean's voice soars to new heights on this track, capturing the essence of the tormented artist.

Overall, "Botanical Gardens" is a testament to Don McLean's enduring talent and creativity. It's a must-listen for fans of timeless music and masterful storytelling. Don McLean may be getting older, but his music is as fresh and vibrant as ever. Take a listen and let yourself be transported to a world of beauty and wonder.
