Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Clapton in warm, song-based, choogly-authentic mode (as opposed to blazing blues-technician mode), the mode where you know he's been listening to the Band again and time has been expended in the company of JJ Cale.
Lan'sakes, he's even doing Hoagy Carmichael. Horns, rugboards, Hammonds and Allen Toussaint are everywhere to be heard and the temperature seldom exceeds cosy. Entirely age-appropriate, one has to say. His most engaging music in a while.
