TORONTO – SiriusXM Canada today announced Neil Young Radio, a limited-run channel it offered in December, is returning for another run.
“The channel will include rarities and exclusives, every new song from his latest album Barn, epic hits and fan favourites from his solo music, collaborations with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby Stills Nash & Young, plus Neil sharing the insights behind writing and recording the music,” a press release says.
“SiriusXM listeners will also hear special programs including weekly concert broadcasts from Young’s vaults, celebrity guest DJs and a Barn track-by-track album special featuring Neil Young sharing stories about each song on his latest album.”
Neil Young Radio is available on SiriusXM’s Deep Tracks, channel 27, for 7 days starting today. It is also available for a month on the SXM App.
“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 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.”
Today’s announcement comes a day after it was widely reported Spotify will be removing Neil Young’s music from its streaming service after Young objected to his music being played on the same platform as Joe Rogan’s podcast, which he said spreads misinformation.
