Ryan Adams, 1989
You might not know who Ryan Adams is, but I’m willing to bet your dad does, as he’s the progenitor of a genre of music endearingly titled “Dad Rock.” If you have heard of the folksy yet intense singer songwriter, it is probably only in this context, this context being the fact that the early 2000’s indie fave recorded and released an album song-for-song covering T. Swift’s 1989, in his own unique and gruff indie style. The internet has been swooning about the covers for the past month or so, and now’s your shot to weigh in on his interpretation as Ryan’s 1989 will be available in stores on online this Friday!!!
