Keep On Rockin’ In The Free World

HAPPY 80 To NEIL YOUNG, The Rock Icon Who Keeps On Rockin’ In The Free World

Living rock legend NEIL YOUNG was born on 12 November 1945 in Toronto, Canada.

Happy 80 to the imperishable, iconic singer-songwriter. He has released about
a thousand albums since 1963. He worked solo, regularly recorded with his pals
Crazy Horse, and played with three other memorable voices: Crosby, Stills, & Nash and Buffalo Springfield, a long time ago.

On his newest album, Talkin’ To The Trees, released last
June, he’s assisted by his new band The Chrome Hearts


.
In between, he keeps on coming up with old stuff from his
inexhaustible Archives, which seem to be inexhaustible.
And he still performs live.

Keep on rockin’ in the free world, Neil.

NEIL YOUNG Returns To SPOTIFY

Posted on by JL

13 March 2024

Back in early 2022, NEIL YOUNG pulled back his full music catalogue from Spotify because the streaming platform #1 had Joe Rogan’s podcast on, which Young accused
of spreading misinformation about anti-Covid 19 vaccines.

Some of his contemporaries including Joni Mitchell,
Nils Lofgren, and Crosby, Stills, & Nash followed him.

But Spotify, recently negotiated a deal with Rogan that made his broadcasts available on other platforms too. For this reason, Young announced on his website that he decided to return return Spotify, despite even his long expressed frustration with their audio quality.

STATEMENT

Spotify, the #1 streamer of low res music in the world — Spotify where you get less quality than we made, will now be home of my music again. My decision comes as music services Apple and Amazon have started serving the same disinformation podcast features I had opposed at SPOTIFY.
.
I cannot just leave Apple and Amazon, like I did Spotify, because my music would have very little streaming outlet to music lovers at all, so I have returned to Spotify, in sincere hopes that Spotify sound quality will improve and people will be able to hear and feel all the music as we made it. Qobuz and Tidal, where my music is presented, are all High res as well.
.
I hope all you millions of Spotify users enjoy my songs! They
will now all be there for you except for the full sound we created.
.
Hopefully Spotify will turn to Hi Res as the answer and serve all the music to everyone. Spotify, you can do it! Really be #1 in all ways. You have the music and the listeners!!!! Start with a limited Hi res tier and build from there!
.
Thanks for your support folks!

Neil

Keep on rockin’ in the Spotify world.

At this point of writing Young‘s trucks loaded
with all his music haven’t arrived yet at Spotify.
