'Crystal Gayle knows how to convey heartache'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Vocals: Crystal Gayle, Will Oldham and Odetta
Crystal has one of my favourite voices, and she knows how to convey heartache better than anyone else on record. Will would be a great foil to Crystal's voice; and Odetta could do heavenly backing vocals.
Guitar: Tori Kudo
Maher Shalal Hash Baz's Tori Kudo plays with years of experience and skill. He would help navigate the way toward a new kind of collaborative music, devoid of touchstones and easy reference points.
Synths: Peter Gabriel
He would provide murmuring, atmospheric synth – and help with the chord changes.
Drums: Jon Theodore and Ringo Starr
They'd play together, almost in unison. Jon currently plays with Queens of the Stone Age and I think they'd make a great team and have stories to share about Baltimore and Thomas the Tank Engine.
Bass: Michael Henderson
Henderson had been touring with Stevie Wonder when Miles Davis allegedly saw him play and invited him to join his band instead, which he did.
Producer: Joe Goddard
I love Joe's production and have been fortunate enough to work with him since we were teenagers. He knows all of the individual's styles – and has the skills to bring them all together to make something amazing.
About Group's album 'Between the Walls' is out now. Hot Chip play Latitude festival on Saturday
