Quite excellent. And it's ultimately gotten me to appreciate Taylor Swift in a different way. I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed (Taylor's Version).

He must be kicking himself that he didn't think to call it "1989 (Ryan's Version)"...

I don't know if she'd go as far as to say his 1989 was "better" than hers, but I do know that Ms. Swift herself is a huge fan of what Ryan Adams did with these songs. My guess is that she'd reject the idea that one or the other is "better"; they hit different notes, and do somewhat different things from the same source material. In the video I saw, she was surprised how differently the same lyrics can hit emotionally when different parts get emphasized, like there were elements there she didn't realize were there in plain sight all along. In Ryan Adams's hands, on the whole, 1989 is a lot more bluesy and melancholy. Is that better or worse than the original? It probably depends on what kind of mood you're in, and where your emotions are when you listen. Then there are intangibles - you might just like Ryan Adams's voice better than Tay-Tay's, or vice versa, or appreciate her more contemporary poppy arrangements more than Adams' more classical Springsteen-esque instrumentation.

Kudos to Ryan for finding a way to get me to listen to Taylor Swift songs and enjoy them.

GET THE FUCKING ALBUM ART SORTED YOU UTTER IDIOTS. MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION AND THEY CAN'T PUT A FUCKING ALBUM COVER ON A WEBSITE DESIGNED TO SHOW ALBUM COVERS. Really though, the new Las.fm is truly awful. A disgrac. I've never heard one good thing about it and I've used it for over 10 years.
