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.Better known as the prime mover behind tangodisco outfit Gotan Project, French producer Philippe Cohen Solal has apparently long nursed a secret affection for country music, a love now daring to speak its name with The Moonshine Sessions.
It’s a tasteful enough rehearsal of standard country music themes, with “Luna’s Song” expressing preference for rural over urban life and a sizeable acreage of heartbreak set to wistful harmonica, wan banjo and forlorn fiddle, most notably in “Always Alone.
The Hayseed Dixie-style countrified covers of “Dancing Queen” and “Pretty Vacant”, however, are rather less rewarding.
