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.Even if he were to cover his sort-of namesake's "Grace Kelly", Micah P. Hinson would still sound like a backwoods mechanic hiding something in the cellar.
At 27, Hinson's life already reads like a biopic: painkiller addiction, prison, proposing to his partner on stage in London, now married but crippled by chronic back pain. On this LP, that cracked country voice (more pebble-dashed than gravelly) tells tales of love and obsession over swooping strings and subtle arrangements. It's his best album yet. But mass appeal will have to remain a distant dream – until that biopic.
Pick of the Album: The dark country cabaret of 'You Will Find Me'
