House of The Rising Sun

<< < (2/2)

Pan:
Hi all,

I just came by a song, "The Rounder's Luck" by The Callahan Brothers, which appears to be a minor key waltz version of The House of the Rising Sun from the year 1935.



Cheers,

Pan

Johnm:
Thanks for finding and posting that version, Pan. There seem to be enough versions of "House of The Rising Sun" posted already, along with the prospect of more turning up from time to time, that I moved this thread to the Song of the Month board.
All best,
Johnm

Stuart:
I'm sure most of you heard that when Hilton Valentine died last week, The Animals' version, especially his opening riff, got a lot of airplay. Some of the coverage of his passing also mentioned the origins of the song and played clips from some of the singers mentioned above. Of course, it was what he was best known for in the public sphere.

Some purists and traditionalists probably write off The Animals' version, but I think there's more to it than that.

I went ahead and added it to our undated list of songs there too.

Johnm:
Hi all,
I was just reading through this thread again and thought I'd see if the Dillard Chandler version was up on YouTube. Surprise--it was! Here it is:



All best,
Johnm
