Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
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.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Like some old sharecropper bluesman, Micah P. Hinson has known trouble most of his life, from addiction, jail and bankrupcy to the chronic back trouble which plagued him during the recording and promotion of his second album, Micah P. Hinson and the Opera Circuit.
He was unsure what to do next when producer John Congleton (Polyphonic Spree, Black Mountain, Antony & The Johnsons) persuaded him to get back in the saddle and ride again. The result is ...and the Red Empire Orchestra, another set of songs marked by hope and despondency, the latter rather more than the former.
Hinson grapples with his hopes and needs, “constantly craving what isn’t mine” in “Tell Me It Ain’t So”, before realising his goals are already within his grasp in “I Keep Having These Dreams”.
