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.With forays into pop, folk, country, jazz, mariachi, Latin music, Mexican canciones, MOR standards, lullabies, ballad duets with Aaron Neville, and the inevitable Christmas album, Linda Ronstadt has proven herself the most protean singer in American popular music. This second outing with cajun singer Ann Savoy as The Zozo Sisters is simply delightful, their lustrous harmonies illuminating a winning blend of jaunty cajun waltzes with judiciously selected folk and country songs by the likes of Fifties US folkie pioneer John Jacob Niles (whose "Go Away From My Window", clearly inspired Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe"), and Bill Monroe, whose "The One I Love Is Gone" puts the blues into bluegrass. Best of all is the sensitive and moving treatment accorded Richard Thompson's "King Of Bohemia", a tribute to a social outcast on the skids. Less successful is their version of "Walk Away Renee" - too solemn by half.
