            This one and The Zombies "She's Not There" were the reasons I wanted to become a bass player. As soon as I could afford it, I bought a Hagstrom bass, but it was a couple of years before I could afford an amp. I learned to play by holding the headstock against the hollow core door of my bedroom so that I could hear the bass.

              Until the Animals did it, I only know 'Rising Sun' as an obscure blues song from my brother's 45 collection (Lead Belly I think). Nothing hugely notable about it. The Animals version was much better to my mind.

                There is a Prince Rupert (BC) version:

                There is a town in Northern BC
                That sees no rising sun
                It's been the ruin of many a poor boy
                And Lord! I know I'm one.

                I've one foot on the Government dock,
                And one foot on my boat,
                And if they get any further apart
                I'm going to be afloat.

                Plenty more verses, but everyone who knew them have died, I am afraid.

                  So raw, so good. If they came out today, they would be a hit. Timeless.
                  In the US this perverted idea of “blood and soil” over “constitutional principles” is the most radical and anti-democratic and anti-Conservative idea I have heard in my lifetime.

                    if we listen to the leadbelly version, followed by the woodie guthrie version, and then finally the bob dylan recording; i think its pretty clear who the greater influence on the animals was. . .



                    not taht we should take leadbelly or guthrie for granted - they preserved this old song

                      Dylan was/is pretensions, he was a theatrical construct. Some of his songs were good but he was never revolutionary more than he was contrived.

                          A million times. I never said I didn't like Dylan, just that I always felt he was over rated as a pioneer. He always seemed like a drug fueled stage act. Like Johnny Depp . . . exactly like him actually . . . well, Depp is 1 part Dylan that is. I enjoy Depp, but Depp is no original and not authentic, and neither is Dylan.

                            Dylan played for Woody Guthrie when Guthrie lay dying in hospital . I don't think Johnny Depp has done anything quite like .

                              I was the manager of our little garage band in h.s. and we did 'House...'

                              Because our lead guitar/singer has 'substance' issues... he sometimes didn't make it to the gigs I found us. Mostly bacwater dive taverns up and down the coast. The rhythm guitar would then play lead... but he had no voice. So I sang. My version of the Animals cover was always a crowd favorite.

                              The cheering on that one almost convinced me I could sing.
