Rocker Ryan Adams said covering Taylor Swift's entire "1989" album was "incredibly humbling" and helped him explore himself more deeply as a musician, The Associated Press reports. Adams' version of "1989" was digitally released Monday. Swift released the original album -- her first full-blown pop record -- last October. "It's actually incredibly humbling to find a connection with someone else's words and someone else's songs and to open yourself up and to feel them fully, and find out where those stories take you," Adams, 40, said in an interview.
