Ryan Adams - Taylor Swift Cover Album?

Ryan has been posting on various social media the past few days that he's covering Taylor Swift's 1989 album. I thought he was joking but he's actually started posting snippets of the songs. They sound pretty good.

I don't know how to feel about this.

Just heard the news now. I think Taylor's response sums up how I'm feeling.

Although she is after doing a duet with Beck as well so that means she is now connected to two of my all time favourite musicians so I don't know what to think.

It's available for pre order on itunes. I think there's a limited time to get it, not sure though. You might need to look into that pretty quick if you were thinking about buying it.

Anyone know if this will be a physical release at any point ? I don't use iTunes and generally the only digital using when it comes to music is Spotify the odd time.

I've being listening to the album all morning.. its actually decent now.. i didn't know what to expect as i haven't heard the original versions.

Highlights for me are Style and Wildest Dreams

Got email saying it's available from usual outlets today...
Haven't heard the originals, so this is going to be an interesting listen!

whiskeyman · 22-09-2015 10:26am

Had a good first listen...
Unreal!
Love so many of them. Out of the Woods a standout so far...
Good fun checking out Taylors original versions after hearing Ryans!

Wildest Dreams also epic!

I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving my money to Taylor Swift....

I wouldn't be a fan of Ms Swift normally, but there's a large female presence in the house so it gets played a lot. It's probably one of the best albums of the year. I'm going to get this version also.

I heard on American radio recently that Ryan Adams & Brian Adams are both doing cover albums of each other's best known albums to be released next year as "The Adams Project", a double album. Apparently both were pissed off with people shouting "Play name of other guy's hit" so they decided to do it.

Ironic covers album...

Dr.Winston O'Boogie · 24-09-2015 8:35am

Now all we need is for Swift to cover Heartbreaker in its entirety.

OU812 · 24-09-2015 9:13am

I'd prefer her to tackle Gold.

This could be the start of a new thing... Artists who are opposite genres covering each other's best known album.

RichFTW · 24-09-2015 3:09pm

Cold Roses is my favourite and would work well with a female lead vocalist I think.

That Adams Project thing is ridiculous! Ha ha, I'd still buy it though.

Strumms · 25-09-2015 2:43am

she should reciprocate I think. She should cover 29 I think.. I'd love to here her version of Starlite Diner for starters

Taylor can do no wrong...
