The official video features McLean and Home Free in tribute to Vincent van Gogh
Country’s only all-vocal band, Home Free, teams with an all-American legend, offering a masterful new take on the Don McLean classic, “Vincent.”
Singing alongside McLean for a tribute to artistic struggle and misunderstood genius, the 1971 folk-rock favorite was written by the Grammy-winning icon and member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, originally appearing on McLean’s seminal album, American Pie. But Home Free remakes the track in their signature harmony blend, adding a rich sonic texture to match the song’s inspiration.
An official music video is also out now and features McLean, as the collaborators pay homage to impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh and world-famous artwork like The Starry Night.
Signaling mutual admiration, Home Free is featured on the title track of McLean’s upcoming new album, American Boys – a harmony-filled send-up to the artists who invented rock ‘n’ roll and inspired McLean’s career. The album will be released on May 17th, and McLean started his 50th Anniversary Starry Starry Night Tour earlier this month.
Home Free released their Crazy(er) Life album in March, helping celebrate 10 years since their breakout as a band. Reimagining popular songs from the career-defining early days when they first arrived in the national spotlight, the album nods to the hit album debut Crazy Life via Columbia Records, which was released in 2014 after Home Free won NBC’s The Sing Off.
The band is on tour, with shows across the US scheduled through the fall, including an appearance at CMA Fest in Nashville on June 8th.
