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.This is a guitarists' mutual appreciation society affair that ought to be unbearable, but is actually gorgeous, thanks to the modest brilliance of those involved.
Alongside Buddy Miller are pedal steel player Greg Leisz and six-string polymaths Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot, combining talents on material ranging from cowboy C&W (Tex Owens's "Cattle Call"), to frisky R&B (Mickey & Sylvia's "No Good Lover") and Elizabeth Cotten's skiffle standard "Freight Train". Highlights include the interplay of Ribot's dervish acoustic guitar and Frisell's astringent electric flourishes on a "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie", sung by Ribot in the diffident manner of Bill Callahan, and a version of Roger Miller's "Dang Me", given a darker tone by the singer Chocolate Genius, supported by Ribot's spiky guitar.
