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.

Guy Clark writes wistful, grown-up, intimate songs about the lives of the American ghost. His genius is in his eye for detail. And the good news is, he isn't dead: he's 70.

The album does exactly what its title says: it pays tribute, in the shape of 30 Clark songs sung by 30 tributaries, some widely celebrated, others less so. Here is a small list: Lyle Lovett, Joe Ely, Rosanne Cash, Suzy Bogguss, Ron Sexsmith, Rosie Flores, Emmylou, Willie, Ramblin'... Good names, good cause. Very enjoyable package.
