US EditionNeil Young’s gift to Greenland: Free access to his entire music catalog
Neil Young grants Greenland's 56,500 residents free access to his 62-year music catalog for one year to ease stress amid Trump's territorial threats and his protest against Amazon.
- On Tuesday, Neil Young announced Greenland residents will get one year of free access to his full catalog and he will not allow it on Amazon Music while Jeff Bezos owns the company.
- Neil Young said Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of President Donald Trump, and reaffirmed last week and last year his opposition due to the president's international policies and support for ICE.
- Fans can sign up at NeilYoungArchives.com, where Greenland residents get one year free access, while physical vinyl and CDs remain available via record stores and independent digital services.
- Acknowledging the cost, Young said his stance is harmful to his record company short term but urged fans not to use Amazon and hopes other organizations will follow.
- Given Young's six‑decade career and more than 90 million albums sold, he framed the gift as intended to ease unwarranted stress Greenland residents face amid President Donald Trump's bid concerning the Danish territory.
