Ryan Adams is in the studio recording a complete cover version of Taylor Swift’s huge album 1989.
Swift has been the highlight of the music business in 2015, outselling any other release many times over and leading the touring business with her supporting tour. While the country audiences have turned their back on the album, it has taken off with pop fans in a way not seen since Adele’s album 21.
Adams gave a commentary of the recording via Twitter.
