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.For a singer raised in the country tradition, Moorer has always had an awful lot of soul. So it's always been on the cards that her interpretative day would dawn. Here it is: Allison does the classics of rock, folk 'n' blues, as written by women. The blues turn out well. We find Ma Rainey and Nina Simone inhabited like a pissed-off Bonnie Raitt, slippery acoustic guitars and all. But her Patti Smith ("Dancing Barefoot") and Joni ("Both Sides Now") are non-events. Interestingly, it's the "folk" tunes that sing: the McGarrigles' "Go, Leave" and Gillian Welch's "Revelator". It's as if she knows of what they speak.
