Album: Nanci Griffiths, Intersection (Hell No / Proper)
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."Hell, no, I'm not all right!" is the motto of the album.
And so we must face up to this delicate bouquet of sad country songs as being, in reality, a snarl of rage – or at least a lamentation at being stuck at "an intersection of hopes and dreams and fears". Which is another way of saying that there is a lot of unhappy first-person baggage on display here, much of it written by Griffiths herself and sung in her increasingly sclerotic voice. Fair enough.
