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.After 2001's Lions, the Black Crowes' singer Chris Robinson became a gossip staple through his hitch to Kate Hudson, while other band-members wandered off up various blind alleys.
Partially reconvened here, they're strengthened by the recruitment of guitarist Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars. Dickinson's roots-reared style dovetails neatly with Rich Robinson's on the slide-guitar raunch of "Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution" and the riffing of "We Who See the Deep".
Less easily replaceable is Eddie Harsch, whose soulful organ lent emotional depth: new keyboardist Adam MacDougall has yet to impose his character on the band's sound, restricted here mostly to underscoring the guitarists' efforts. Warpaint is a creditable enough comeback, with their heavy blues-rock punctuated by acoustic numbers like the mandolin-led "Locust Street" and the closing chant "Whoa Mule", rather than the ill-judged psychedelic excursions of previous releases; but it's still some way from The Southern Harmony & Bible Companion.
