Neil Young Gives His Complete Catalog to Greenland for Free, Takes Aim at Amazon and Jeff Bezos

Amid tensions between the United States and Greenland, Neil Young has donated a year’s worth of access to his website archive to Greenland.

Young made the announcement on his official website in a brief statement. “I hope my music and music films will ease some of the unwarranted stress and threats you are experiencing from our unpopular and hopefully temporary government,” he wrote, calling the move “a gesture of kindness and respect” and “offer of peace and love.”

The statement also includes instructions for Greenland residents to take advantage of the offer. Doing so requires a phone number with a Greenland country code for verification. Young’s website archive includes all of his 45 studio albums, as well as concert films and more, in super high definition sound. Access typically costs between $24.99 and $99.99 a year.

Young has been an outspoken political activist throughout his 62-year-long career, and the move is just the latest when it comes to access to Young’s body of work. In 2024, he announced his music would return to Spotify after removing it in 2022. Most recently, in October 2025, he removed his music from Amazon’s streaming service and called for a widespread boycott of the company, and he recently doubled down on his criticism of the company and its owner, Jeff Bezos, and encouraged fans to buy his albums elsewhere, particularly independent companies.

“Record stores provide all my vinyl and CDs, while the digital music world has many alternative options to purchase my music if you like it,” he wrote, echoing his sentiments from October. “My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos. My position is unfortunately harmful to my record company in the short term, but I think the message I am sending is important and clear. Thanks for buying music locally and from independent digital services.”

Young will hit the road this summer with his band Chrome Hearts, as the European leg of their Love Earth World Tour kicks off in June.
