Professor Ray Schuck, along with his son Raymond I Shuck, have published a compilation on the importance of Don McLean's 1972 hit song American Pie. The volume considers the cultural importance of the song and explores the meanings behind the iconic lyrics. Dr. Crawford also contributed a chapter on reading the lyrics as history. The volume comes in time for celebration of the 40th anniversary of the song's debut.
The book is available from McFarland and can be found and ordered from their website.
Well done to Schuck, father and son, for all the hard work that went into putting this volume together!
