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.

Buddy Miller is fast becoming a ubiquitous presence on quality Americana and, through work with the likes of Robert Plant and Richard Thompson, quality Albiona, too.

Co-hosts of an Outlaw Country radio show, Buddy and songwriter Jim Lauderdale here collaborate on a tranche of down-home rockabilly for which, again, quality is the crucial element, both on twangsome covers of Jimmy McCracklin's r'n'b dance tune "The Wobble" and the rumba-rock celebration "Down South in New Orleans", and their own collaborative material such as the earthy "I Lost My Job of Loving You". It's all delivered with customary warmth and swing from Miller's home studio.
