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.

It feels like a country music day today - we just published an interview with the icon that is Shania Twain and now we're revealing the new music video from The Cadillac Three.

I met these guys after a great show at Shepherd's Bush in London, they're a lot of fun and were happy to share their whisky around.

Here's the video for their track "Dang If We Didn't" - an unashamed party track that should get you in the mood for Friday night.

Check it out below:

Q&A with The Cadillac Three

What are you guys listening to at the moment?

Sturgill Simpson, Brent Cobb & Brothers Osborne.

What do you make of the current status of country music within the industry, given that modern country bands tend to get a lot of shtick from purists?

We don't pay too much attention to it honestly but if someone is being authentic and they've found a sound that works for them then we support it.

It's hard to be unique, find an audience & sell records but if you can do it and be true to yourself then I'd call that success.

What are your plans for the rest of 2017?

We have 2 more weeks of shows in America and then a two week break before we do 3 weeks in Canada and a month in Europe on the “Long Hair Don't Care” tour!

What was the first gig you ever played and what’s been the best so far?

Our first show was supporting ZZ Top in Nashville, Tn. at an amphitheatre!

The best has to be this past month when we headlined & sold out The Ryman Auditorium in our hometown. We had all our family and friends there and people traveled from all over America and from as far away as Manchester, England. It was a special night.

The Cadillac Three tour the UK from 12 - 20 November - get tickets here
