Don McLean’s Classics Album has been certified Gold. The 10-song Curb Records project features some of his biggest hits from the 1970s, including “American Pie,” “Vincent, ” “Crying,” and “And I Love You So.”

“What an honor! To be back in Nashville, where I once recorded several albums with Larry Butler is always fun, but to be presented with a Gold album from Mike Curb and the great people of Curb Records is even more special,” says McLean. “I am consistently surprised to learn how many new people are learning about my songs. This digital streaming era has really given new life to so many older recordings. I just love it!”

The Nashville Briefing celebrated the release of its annual 30 UNDER 30 list on Monday with an event at JBJ’s Nashville.

“It’s been amazing to see how much this event has grown,” says The Nashville Briefing’s founder Zak Kuhn. “We have an incredible community of alumni who gather every year to celebrate a new generation of Nashville power players. We had everyone in attendance last night from agency heads to people who just moved to town. That’s the power of this list. Everyone wants to celebrate the next 30 Under 30 class and get to know them! Thanks also to our event partner, Loeb & Loeb LLP, who share a belief in shining a light on Nashville’s next batch of executives. They were the perfect partner for this event.”
