My Fantasy Band: Adam Duritz, Counting Crows
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. Vocals - Paul Buchanan
He sings with a Scottish band called The Blue Nile; when I saw them it was probably the most emotional show I've ever been to. My all-time favourite is Ella Fitzgerald, but I've thought about how this band is going to sound together, so Ella's out.
Guitars - Richard Thompson and Ronnie Wood
I don't think anyone can touch Richard on guitar. He has totally different styles acoustically and electrically, but he'll blow your mind with both. Ronnie Wood has played with two of my favourite bands, the Stones and the Faces.
Bass - Paul McCartney
He's an incredible musician. He was originally the band's guitarist but switched. His playing is out of this world.
Organ - Billy Preston
He was all over everyone's records. His work with The Beatles and other stars was huge, just tearing the ass off the organ.
Drums - Bernard Purdie
Another session musician, for the greats. There's this legend he's the drummer on The Beatles' "Let It Be".
Counting Crows tour the UK and Ireland from 7 May; tickets from www.livenation.co.uk or www. ticketmaster.ie for Ireland
