Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Schmit is an earnest all-round American muso and former member of the Eagles.

Expando finds him settling into Americana mode with an impressive supporting cast of chums: Garth Hudson, Keb Mo, Van Dyke Parks, Benmont Tench and, yep, Kid Rock. The voice retains its light, bright Eagles/CS&N wonderment and the songs are personal, even domestic (yep, Nash is on it too).

They come at you like grinning, well-meaning friends of friends. Altogether pleasant, but not necessarily how you want to spend the time.
