(From Wikipedia)
Donald McLean, Jr. (born October 2, 1945, New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer-songwriter. He is most famous for his 1971 album American Pie, containing the renowned songs "American Pie" and "Vincent".
The McLean clan traces its roots to the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Hebrides. Both Don's grandfather and father were also named Donald McLean. The Buccis, the family of McLean's mother, Elizabeth, came from Abruzzi in central Italy. They left Italy and settled in Port Chester, New York at the end of the 19th century. He has other extended family in Los Angeles and Boston.

I was also surprised by this, when the heck did the Jr bit to the name come along. Alan will have to changed the website to don-mclean-jr.com or something. 
I guess it is not on the ads for his forthcoming tour in case people think they are getting his son instead.
What about Don McLean II . . . a la the Loudon Wainwright III line.
