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.Pokey LaFarge is a throwback Americana crooner, somewhat akin to a sprightlier Leon Redbone. The vibe on this debut for Jack White's Third Man label is pre-rock'n'roll. But if his style is retro, his concerns are contemporary, from the complaints about doctors' fees in “Close the Door” to the anxieties over the way a heatwave drives city folk criminally mad in “City Summer Blues”. But LaFarge can see both sides of an issue, exemplified in his contradictory attitudes to work and unemployment in the diligent “Day After Day” and the lazy charm of “Let's Get Lost”.
