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.Recorded in Munich in 1962, when the influential Mississippi singer-guitarist was in his mid-fifties and on tour with one of those marvellous American Folk-Blues Festival packages, this is valuable for the space it gives him to stretch out beyond the three-minute form. The six tracks, each between five and nine minutes, allow him to settle into hypnotic slow-rocking grooves founded on open-tuned drones, his ferocious growl playing against finger-picking that has the delicacy of Japanese koto music.
