Ryan Adams 1989 (2 LP)

Ryan Adams Covers Taylor Swift's 1989 Album!
Double LP Featuring "Bad Blood" and "Blank Space"
"On 1989, Ryan Adams offers a track-by-track reinterpretation of Taylor Swift's chart-topping 2014 album. The result is as intimate as it is disarming. Adams presents Tay-Tay's explosive pop hooks with an air of graceful melancholy, using acoustic guitars and reverb-soaked vocals to add heartbroken emotion to familiar hits like "Shake It Off", "Bad Blood", and "Blank Space". Still, the most satisfying moments on Adams version of 1989 are the deep cuts from Swift's original release, including the dusky glow of "Out of the Woods" and chiming guitars of "Wildest Dreams." - iTunes
"There's no disguising how Ryan Adams flips Taylor Swift's 1989 upside-down, turning a moment of triumph into bedsit introspection, a concept that is undoubtedly theoretically interesting, but the record works because Adams doesn't play this as a stunt. He's as canny a producer as he is a conceptualist, coaxing forgotten college rock sounds out of his Pax-Am Studios and treating Swift's originals as text to be interpreted, a move that neither saves nor strengthens the originals but rather highlights the skill of Taylor the songwriter and Adams the musician." - Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic.com
