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.Kin is a songwriting collaboration between Rodney Crowell and author/academic Mary Karr, responsible for 10 of the best new country songs I've heard in ages, brought to life by singers such as Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Kris Kristofferson.
Crowell and Karr clearly bring the best out of each other – whichever of them came up with the opening line "I heard a siren and you came to mind" is clearly a genius. The theme of outlaw appeal holds the album together, with Crowell's fond reminiscences in opener "Anything But Tame" taken up by Norah Jones in "If The Law Don't Want You" ("...neither do I"). It's not all outlaw romanticism: "I'm A Mess" includes a brilliant account of an MRI scan after a car crash.
