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.

The mostly live performances, all from 1961/62, depict a tyro talent steeped in the blues. Dylan's lyrical ambitions, meanwhile, were swiftly bearing fruit, as his repertoire of traditional ballads and blues was expanded through talking blues in the Woody Guthrie manner, topical broadsides like "Ballad of Hollis Brown", and early versions of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right".
