Re: Listen up you Animals!
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.David G

Re: Listen up you Animals!
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.Comment

Re: Listen up you Animals!
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 songSimpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.Comment

Dylan played for Woody Guthrie when Guthrie lay dying in hospital . I don't think Johnny Depp has done anything quite like .Last edited by Bill Perkins; 05-20-2023, 08:08 AM.Comment

Re: Listen up you Animals!
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.Last edited by David G; 05-13-2023, 11:28 PM.David G

The theme music of my youth, no doubt playing on the AM car radio on those various road trips rattling around on the back seat of Dad's Holden.
I have come to prefer the Frigid Pink version of the House of the rising sun. I'd never heard of em until a decade or two back but I did read Led Zep opened for them, just before world domination.
