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.

Boi-oi-oinng! BK was the guitarist in Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airman, which will immediately set Telecasters ringing in the minds of the sophisticated.

Here he is in the company of rootsical compadres (Costello, Dan Hicks, Nick Lowe impersonating Charlie Rich) doing what he does – country, rock'n'roll, western swing; songs by Merle Haggard and Roger Miller. The abundance of guests tells you Bill ain't no singer, but the songs are good and the Tele rings. Dave Edmunds fans should concern themselves.
