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.

The voice is scrunched a little tighter now, and frayed, and the tunes seem worn to the bone, but… Well, you can't keep a good man down.
This is an umpteenth album by the grizzled veteran of roots songwriting and, if it isn't his strongest, that doesn't mean it isn't worthy of your attention – and not only for the moving address to his late wife in the title song. Arrangements are simple, bluegrass-inflected and rich in acoustic textures. Warm and thick as a hayrick.
