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.This soundtrack to the Coen Brothers' tribute to the Greenwich Village 1960s folk scene offers a commendable account of the era's troubadour repertoire – and the bonus of Justin Timberlake and Marcus Mumford among the collaborators on an a cappella take on “The Auld Triangle”, perhaps the best thing here save for Bob Dylan's unreleased “Farewell”. Elsewhere, Timberlake contributes “Please Mr Kennedy” and Mumford adds harmonies to “Fare Thee Well”, sung by the film's star Oscar Isaac. Produced by the Coens with T Bone Burnett, the album captures well the sanctimony, bogus bucolicism and beatnik romanticism that characterised the age, along with that tang of “revolution in the air” (to quote its most successful adherent).
