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.If ever an album merited the epithet “charming”, this is it: a selection of lullabies sung by Martha Wainwright and Lucy Wainwright Roche with spellbinding harmonies.
This is immediately apparent from the spookily intimate way their voices just burst into “Prairie Lullaby”.
As ever, it’s a family affair, with Martha’s mother Kate McGarrigle’s reminiscence of doll-play passed to daughter, “Lullaby For A Doll”, given suitably poignant, whimsical treatment, alongside pop Loudon’s typically droll “Lullaby”, while cousins Lily and Sylvan Lanken gain an eerie pertinence through their contributions to a gorgeous acappella rendering of “Long Lankin”.
It’s a wonderful collection, with even Richard Thompson’s cold-comfort message in “End Of The Rainbow” imbued with a warm glow.
