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.A posthumous phenomenon to dwarf even Nick Drake, Eva Cassidy's last three albums all topped the UK chart, and there's every chance that Simply Eva will follow suit.
On previous releases, Cassidy has usually been accompanied by small ensembles, but here she's presented completely solo, with only her own acoustic guitar supporting her on such material as "Kathy's Song" and "Autumn Leaves", the intimacy of the latter leaving one feeling like an intruder on private reverie. Her sluggish strumming is a slight distraction from her flawless realisation of "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", but leaves plenty of room for her moving, blues-inflected reading of Curtis Mayfield's gospel classic "People Get Ready", while her jazz-tinged treatment of "Over the Rainbow" surely now represents the definitive delivery of the standard.
