House of the Rising Sun!!!

[BearBiologist]

Nice surprise!! I've gotten a bug for the Blues lately. I saw that there was a1938 recording of the House of The Rising Sun by Roy Acuff. Well. I punched it up and there was, on the same You Tube page, a recording by Hank, Sr. FANTASTIC!!

Thanks, but I will stick to Eric Burdon & the Animals version.
As for the Blues on YT, I like " 10 Slow Blues Music Tracks", I also discovered Eilen Jewell "I Remember You" and Sea of Tears", Whiskey Blues, etc., etc., Etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Did you know that "Amazing Grace" can be sung to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun"? Strange but true.

One of the best versions is Bob Dylan's. but he sings it in the female version....

Ive heard deck the halls done to war pigs, and frank and mel messing around with chicago and new york, new york, and a lot of confusion between werewolves and sweethome until the singing starts.

On the topic of oddball coverings....Frank Zappa doing "So Happy Together"


Nightwish covering Pink Floyd's " High Hopes"

Eric Burdon recorded HotRS another time...without the Animals. I like both versions, but I like the second one better.

... and a lot of confusion between werewolves and sweethome until the singing starts.

No confusion to me, I recognize both instantly. The third tune in this "trilogy" is Steve Miller's "Take the Money and Run." If you can play the piano riff from Werewolves, you can sit at the piano and do a long medley of all three. Amaze your friends!

And it is played only on the black keys of a piano

I heard that exact tune on the radio last week. It was beautiful. Don't know who the band/choir was though.

Joan Baez, 1960. The house of the rising sun.

Right on, its just not so inyaface as the other two.

Can't believe no one put this one up. My favorite version.

And kid rock has one with both riffs, werewolves and sweethome.

Yes, "All Summer Long." And he gives full credit--I think the writing credit on it is like 12 or 15 names.
