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.

Released last year in the US to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the original concerts, this deluxe edition gathers, for the first time, all the material recorded over the Man in Black's two shows to the men in stripes.

Even with a DVD documentary and a wealth of add-ons from support acts Carl Perkins and the Statler Brothers, this is Cash's moment and there are spine-tingling tunes aplenty. Heartfelt, full of humour and hungry for acceptance, this is a worthy document of the performances of a lifetime.

Pick of the album: It would have to be 'Folsom Prison Blues', wouldn't it?
