Ryan Adams: 1989 Cassette Tape

Ryan Adams takes on Taylor Swift’s 1989. Swift’s first attempt at crossing over from country into the mainstream turned out to be one of the best selling albums of its generation. Adams runs it through his alt-country tinged rock filter, complete with fully flushed out arrangements that match the force of Swift’s pop epic. Includes the songs: “Bad Blood,” “I Know Places,” and “Shake It Off.” Thirteen tracks in all. Released by Pax Americana Record Company on limited edition cassette.
