I wrote about Ryan Adams covering Taylor Swift here. Just weird enough to be interesting. But also kind of a "stunt." And if I buy the Ryan Adams record of Swift covers, don't I also have to buy the Taylor Swift record? Just to see what he did and didn't do?
And is that just a bridge too far?
Still, you do realize that this new record by Ryan Adams will be his biggest ever, a sort of breakout record. And he will, for sure, be riding Taylor Swift's coattails. Is it the kind of stunt that we should be encouraging?
I'm torn. One part of me says... buy both records... another side of me says... avoid with extreme prejudice...
