Neil Young’s music will be disappearing from Spotify following the musician’s attempt to have the streaming platform remove podcaster Joe Rogan. With Young’s catalog gone, it didn’t take long for it to find another home.
Young’s music is now available on SiriusXM as the satellite radio station announced that it has relaunched Neil Young Radio, a channel featuring music and exclusive stories from the musician.
“Rarities and exclusives, every new song from his latest album Barn, epic hits and fan favorites from his solo music, collaborations with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills Nash & Young, plus Neil sharing the insights behind writing and recording the music,” the statement said, per Variety.
SiriusXM listeners will also be able to tune into special shows, including weekly concert broadcasts from Young’s vaults, celebrity guest DJs, etc.
“When you have an opportunity to present an iconic artist still at the height of his creativity, you don’t hesitate to do it, again,” said Steve Blatter, SiriusXM’s senior vice president and general manager of music programming.
“Outspoken, brave, and a true music icon, Neil Young is in a rare class of artists, and we are honored to collaborate with him to create a special audio experience for his fans.”
