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.A Canadian rocker with a light voice, a big fat Gretsch and a lucid way with words. No, don't shrug like that. This is almost certainly the freshest sounding old-fashioned record you'll hear this year.
The White Falcon rock like it's long gone out of style (there's a song called "The Day Rick Danko Died") and Doucet himself would be an up-and-coming star in any times but these. Sample lyric: "I'm too old for the girl I love but she doesn't know it yet." The Gretsch just rings like a bell. With the dismal exception of a Cure cover (say what!?), the tunes keep on coming like a runaway train.
Pick of the Album: 'Blood's Too Rich': a song of family dysfunction
