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.Duane Eddy's much-vaunted hook-up with Richard Hawley is a meeting of like minds – perhaps too alike to bring anything new to the table, although Road Trip is never less than enjoyable.
Eddy's signature twang is well showcased on the opening "Attack of the Duck Billed Platypus", where the eerie organ and air of dark foreboding gives it the feel of surf music crashing on a sinister coast. "Primeval" is grungey twangabilly in the vein of Link Wray; "Twango" a whammy-bar-laced nod to Django Reinhardt; "Road Trip" itself a relaxed footnote to "Take Me Home, Country Roads". But Eddy's forte lies in powerfully evocative sonic postcards, as with "Franklin Town" and "Bleaklow Air", which offer atmospheric trips through deserted Texas border-town and mittel-European spy-thriller scenario, respectively.
