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.With more than 70 songs across four CDs, this compilation suffers from a gigantism at odds with the little-guy principles of its charity beneficiary, Amnesty International – and also possibly counter-productive, compared to a more affordable single album.
The interpretations range from the admirable to the abysmal, with particularly impressive work by My Morning Jacket on a "You're a Big Girl Now" that's pure emotion recollected in tranquility; K'naan piggybacking his own Somalian experience on to "With God on Our Side"; and Bettye Lavette offering an expressive vocal on "Most of the Time". Others are simply anodyne, as might be expected of Maroon 5 and Sting. And I would rather stick pins in my ears than hear Dave Matthews Band's execrable "All Along the Watchtower" again.
