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.

Out on tour for most of the year with Tina, Ike took to booking studio time wherever he lay his hat, cutting impromptu sessions with members of his soul revue for LA's Modern label, often using the legendary Cosimo's in New Orleans.

This 27-song digest of the period is hit and miss, but there are some killer tracks, including "I'm Tore Up", a classic Kings of Rhythm guitar-blues credited to Jackie Brenston, and Tina singing "Five Long Years". Great sleeve notes, too.
