Since 2006, Taylor Swift has released 179 songs spanning nine studio albums. Now that she has regained the copyrights to her first five albums, she is re-recording them one by one. You will know the new ones by the caption Taylor's Version in parentheses after each re-recorded song title.
In this Derringer Discoveries episode, Paul Derringer is joined by Rylan Derringer who is subbing for Dave Derringer. While counting down his Top 10 favorite Taylor Swift songs, Paul provides insight into copyrights versus phonographic rights and why Taylor is re-recording Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), and 1989 (2014).
Joining Paul and Rylan is a panel of three (Delaney Derringer, Layton Derringer, and Abbey Derringer). Each member of the panel, as well as Rylan, will let Paul know if he picks a song not deserving to be in the Top 10. Each time a panelist or Rylan agrees with Paul's pick, a bell rings. Does the bell ever ring five times? Listen up and find out. The ultimate question is do you agree or disagree?
Adding to your listening enjoyment is Abbey Derringer who provides insight on how each of Paul's Top 10 picks fared worldwide on the charts.
