Ruston Kelly Debuts Amazon Original Cover Of Taylor Swift's ALL TOO WELL at Billboard

Ruston Kelly's Amazon Original cover of Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" premiered yesterday at Billboard and is now available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music HERE. Of the song, which was co-written by Swift and Liz Rose, Billboard praises, "Kelly puts his own haunting spin on the track with yearning vocals, delicate percussion and soaring instrumentation."

Additionally, Kelly shares, "'All Too Well' is one of those special songs that never leaves you. It follows you and haunts you and sticks to you because it reminds you of what you thought you'd finally forgotten. It teleports you to old magic feelings, the little perfect moments in a relationship way ahead of its doom. It shows you how happiness with someone can feel so infinite and true. But it calls to the end of things and it shows the color of the flame. It fs you up. A large testament to Taylor and Liz's craftsmanship no doubt. I guess I chose to record it to try and understand it a little better, to be a part of the powerful feeling it gave me when I first heard it."

Amazon Music listeners can simply ask, "Alexa, play the latest song by Ruston Kelly" in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android and on Alexa-enabled devices. In addition to the new track, Amazon Music listeners can access hundreds of Amazon Originals featuring both emerging and established artists across numerous genres, available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music.

The release of "All Too Well" continues a landmark year for Kelly, whose acclaimed debut album, Dying Star, was released last fall on Rounder Records (purchase/stream here). Co-produced by Kelly and Jarrad K, Dying Star features 14 new songs written/co-written by Kelly and continues to receive overwhelming praise.

In celebration of the music, Kelly will join Patty Griffin on several dates next month including stops at Philadelphia's Union Transfer, New York's Town Hall, Portsmouth's The Music Hall and Cambridge's Sanders Theatre among others. Kelly will also perform at several festivals this summer and fall including Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Lollapalooza, Hinterland and John Prine's inaugural "All The Best Fest."
