Neil Young offers Greenland residents free access to his archives

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Neil Young is offering up his music for free to folks in Greenland.

The rocker announced the news in a post on his Neil Young Archives website, offering up a free year subscription to the site “to all our friends in Greenland.”

“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,” Young wrote. “It is my sincere wish for you to be able to enjoy all of my music in your beautiful Greenland home, in its highest quality.”

He added, “This is an offer of Peace and Love. All the music I have made during the last 62 years is yours to hear. You can renew for free as long as you are in Greenland. We do hope other organisations will follow in the spirit of our example. LOVE EARTH.”

The Neil Young Archives site gives fans access to Young’s catalog of music, including albums, live concert recordings and concert films. Those in Greenland need to register on the site, and they’ll be sent a code for the free access.

Back in October, Young announced he was pulling his music off Amazon due to Jeff Bezos’ support of the current administration, and in a more recent post he reiterated his stance.

“Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president,” he wrote. “The president’s international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon.”

“My music will never be available on Amazon, as long as it is owned by Bezos,” he added. “I think the message I am sending is important and clear.”

Lou Gramm drops new single, ‘Young Love,’ off upcoming album

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Back in December, former Foreigner frontman Lou Gramm revealed that he had a new album on the way, and now we know the details.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is set to drop the new solo album Released on March 27, featuring 10 tracks written by Gramm and his former Black Sheep bandmate Bruce Turgon.

“My new album Released is a collection of unreleased songs that were recorded in the 1980s during the production of my three previous solo albums,” says Gramm. “These are powerful, heartfelt songs with a great vintage sound taken right from my old multitrack tapes.”

“This new album was a long time coming and it’s a real nostalgia trip,” he adds. “It means a lot to me to finally see this album released, to be taken back in time when I hear this music again, to remember working with all these great musicians, and to feel that my catalog is now complete.”

And Gramm is sharing his first taste of the album with the release of the track “Young Love,” which features Def Leppard’s Vivian Campbell on guitar. The song is now available via digital outlets.

Fans will soon get to hear Gramm perform these songs live. He is due to hit the road in support of the album this summer, with dates to be announced in the coming weeks. He is also set to reunite with Foreigner for a string of Florida shows that kick off April 17 in St. Augustine, wrapping April 23 in Key West.

Gramm’s Released will be available digitally, on CD and on limited-edition ruby red vinyl. All formats are available for preorder now.

Charli XCX’s ‘The Moment’ sets sales record, tickets now changing hands online

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Tickets for Charli XCX‘s new film The Moment are apparently a hotter commodity than tickets to her Sweat tour.

The movie, which screens in New York and LA on Jan. 30, has become studio A24’s fastest-selling film in a limited release, with over 50 screenings selling out nationwide, according to the studio.

In addition, a screening that includes a Q&A with Charli and director Aidan Zamiri — which will be livestreamed across Alamo Drafthouse venues — has nearly sold out. In fact, much like concert tickets, tickets for that special screening are now changing hands online in resale marketplaces such as Reddit.

The Moment, which arrives in theaters nationwide on Feb. 6, is a fictionalized version of Charli’s experiences during “Brat summer,” when her Brat album took over the pop culture narrative. In addition to Charli, it features Rosanna Arquette, Kylie Jenner, Alexander Skarsgård, Kate Berlant and Rachel Sennott.

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Aerosmith is revisiting their self-titled debut album.

The “Sweet Emotion” rockers will release Aerosmith (Legendary Edition) on March 20, described in a press release as the band’s “definitive version” of the 1973 album.

The album will be released in a variety of formats, including the limited-edition five-LP Aerosmith (Legendary Collector’s Edition) that includes the original album remastered on clear vinyl, along with a 2024 Album Mix on translucent red vinyl.

The set also includes a 1973 live performance at the Boston venue Paul’s Mall on black vinyl, as well as previously unreleased studio tracks, also on black vinyl, and a UV cloud-effect 12-inch vinyl, featuring both the 2024 remaster and 2024 mix of the band’s iconic single “Dream On.”

It also comes with a hardcover book featuring never-before-seen photos, plus liner notes with new interviews with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer. There are also contributions from musicians like Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready, Dolly Parton, The Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson, Guns N’ Roses’ Slash and more.

Aerosmith (Legendary Edition) will also be released as four-LP and three-CD sets, as well as digitally and as a single LP, in both black and translucent red, and as a single CD.

All formats are available for preorder now. Those who preorder will get a preview of the set with the instant grat track “Mama Kin (2024 Mix).”

Released in January 1973, Aerosmith wasn’t an initial hit for the band, but eventually peaked at #21 in 1976. It featured Aerosmith’s now signature tune “Dream On,” which also wasn’t a hit when it was originally released in 1973, but reached the top 10 when it was rereleased in December 1975.

A deer camp in Neshoba County, Mississippi, is HARDY’s idea of ‘COUNTRY!’

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

HARDY‘s currently spending his second week at #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “Favorite Country Song,” the track that marks his return to his home format after his successful foray into rock with his Quit!! album.

After exploring other musical outlets, HARDY was eager to return to where he was raised in Mississippi, which provided much of the inspiration for COUNTRY! COUNTRY!

“We have, we call it our deer camp, our camp house, that’s been there for 40 years now,” he tells ABC Audio. “And I lived there in my head writing this record. I guess I was just kind of feeling homesick. I’d been busy and traveling a lot.”

“And especially like ‘Favorite Country Song,’ ‘Luckiest Man Alive,’ there’s so many, but that’s where I went,” he continues. “That’s where I lived with this record. And so there’s a big, big piece of Philadelphia, Mississippi, or really more specifically, Neshoba County, that came with this record.”

On Feb. 5, HARDY travels to Ontario, Canada, where he kicks off a nine-show run in the Great White North.

The Black Crowes take fans behind the scenes of their ‘Profane Prophecy’ video

January 27, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Black Crowes have shared some behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video for “Profane Prophecy,” one of two new tracks they released from their upcoming album, A Pound of Feathers.

The video was directed by artist and musician Dagger Polyester and was inspired by Russ Meyer films. The costumes, sets and more were created by a group of 15 students from a Los Angeles art collective. In the behind-the-scenes clip, Crowes frontman Chris Robinson talks about how he liked the “DIY” aspect of the video.

“It’s a great collaboration,” says Chris. “You know, to have an initial idea, throw it Dagger’s way, Dagger could, you know, throw in another layer and then to bring everyone together to kinda create this little world that’s been going on for the last 48 hours.”

A Pound of Feathers, dropping March 13, is The Black Crowes’ 10th studio album and their first since 2024’s Happiness Bastards. In addition to “Profane Prophecy,” they previewed the album by releasing the track “Pharmacy Chronicles.”

A Pound of Feathers is available for preorder now.
