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.

Any compilation that includes tracks by Dylan and Springsteen, and creditable offerings from two distinctive Hollywood talents (Adam Sandler, Billy Bob Thornton) is aiming high. The peculiar spirit Zevon brought to his songs is nowhere better expressed than in Calderon's heartbreaking "Keep Me in Your Heart", where Jennifer Warnes's measured ululations cut right to the quick of the song. Don Henley brings a suitably grizzled presence to the wounded nobility of "Searching For a Heart", and Steve Earle captures the scarred plaint of "Reconsider Me". But if ever a singer were matched with a song, it's Dylan's live version of "Mutineer", where his weatherbeaten charisma lights up the anthem like a beacon. Jackson Browne is similarly matched to the hurt libertine tone of "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", with Bonnie Raitt's slide guitar providing the

Other highlights include Springsteen's live version of "My Ride's Here" and a raucous take on "Ain't That Pretty at All" by the Pixies. A fine Viking funeral for an individual spirit.
