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.

Jovial Austin amalgam of western swing and "hot jazz", played by a trio comprising bass, guitar and the luscious scrape of Elana James' violin.

James is a something of a coming force in American roots music (she nestled for a while in the bosom of Bob Dylan), and if she can avoid taking the Krauss route, then we'll all be the better for it. What's not to like? Well, the Hot Club lack a strong voice and material to match their covers. But everything you can't have.

Pick of the album: 'If You Leave Me': diddly-dum diddly-dee-do-dah
