Bob Seger ends streaming stand-off

The hits keep on coming to streaming music services. The greatest hits, that is.

Like the Beatles and Garth Brooks before him, Bob Seger ended his stand-off with new media on Friday, making13 albums available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Napster and Slacker Radio.

“Bob Seger wrote the soundtrack for generations of music fans lives. He’s an American icon and true legend,” said Troy Carter, head of creator services at Spotify, in a statement released Friday.

“It’s exciting for us to not only be able to share Bob’s music with his existing fans, but also to introduce him to new audiences around the world.”

Seger’s arrival on the digital stage comes just two weeks after the Detroit native announced the dates for his Runaway Train tour with the Silver Bullet Band. Los Angeles Times
