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.

There are those "lost" albums that are probably best left that way, and then there are gems such as this.

Sullivan was a West Coast contender and UFO was meant to be his moment. It didn't come and, six years after UFO's 1969 release, Sullivan had disappeared in mysterious circumstances. This, then, is that album's first "proper" release and though it has its moments of hippy excess, the majority of the songs are down-the-line folk-country-rock classics, laced with Axelrod-like strings and an almost "Wichita Lineman"-like grace.
