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.There’s a spirited, fiery charm to antipodean rockabilly singer Tami Neilson; and in places, something more.
The opening track of Dynamite!, “Walk Back to Your Arms”, with its echoey backing vocal responses and deep, doomed tone of resignation has a haunted mood that grips like a countrified Amy Winehouse: it’s real, not merely retro.
And on “Cry Over You”, a ballad that weighs his love against her tears and finds it wanting, Neilson gives it the full Patsy Cline, her voice cracking with the pity. Elsewhere, the title track and “Come Over and Take Me Out” are galloping good-times invitations, and “Texas” a two-step country croon boasting of “a love the size of Texas”.
Rounding off a short but satisfying set, Delaney Davidson and Ben Woolley bring the spirits of Lee Hazlewood and Willie Nelson, respectively, to bear on the duets “Running to You” and “Whiskey and Kisses”.
