Customer Reviews:

Only A Piece Of The Pie.......2005-02-27

This disc was an extreme disappointment. I should have realized that American Pie(Part One), meant that the whole song was not on the cd. I did not. For that, I take responsibility. But why would anyone release a cd that only contains part of a classic song? Take my advice. Pick another compact disc if you want to add the song American Pie to your music library.

Two Greats. One CD!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-05-18

Hello, I am the only 12 year old I know who likes this kind of music (and has heard any of these songs except American Pie.) Don McClean has is a good singer and a GREAT songwriter. Jim Croce is a Great songwriter and one of the best vocalists in rock (or in all music). My mom bought me this at Wal-Mart for 6 bucks today and I had heard all but one of the Jim Croce songs and two Don McClean songs.
American Pie, Pt.1-Don McLean- A word of warning to those who are buying the cd for this track only: this is not the long version. Even the short version is in the top ten songs ever.
I Got a Name-Jim Croce- A autobiographal song about his dream to play music.
Castles in the Air-Don McLean- Similar to I Got A Name
You Don't Mess Around With Jim-Jim Croce- Great song with a good lesson: don't bully people
Everyday-Don McLean- Good ballad
Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels)-Jim Croce- One of his best and most popular tunes.
Vincent-Don McLean- A story song that tells about a lover who commits suicide.
Time in a Bottle-Jim Croce- 2nd best on album and showcases his vocals. I also like the catchy guitar intro.
Dreidel-Don McLean- This is a fast paced song and proves that the acoustic rockers could go electric when they wanted to.
Workin' at the Car Wash Blues-Jim Croce- This is funny
Another review stated that this will not be a CD that gathers dust. I don't know since its the first day I've owned it, but, right now it's one of my favorites.

This has been a favorite of mine for years!.......2003-03-14

This has been one of my favorite disks for several years. It's not something that gets play for a month or so and then collects dust. It really has longterm play value! It's the best of Jim Croce and Don McLean...just really happy music :)

Great CD.......2000-12-28

This cd is one of my favorites, the two artist's ouns magical back to back, and the song choice is terrific. Anyone who knows music should ahve this cd.
