[@kostaburgess4373]

This version is just absolutely killer. First song to share with anyone who says Dylan can't sing. Throughout this album he takes that Dylan-ness in his voice and turns it into pure melancholy, which this song just absolutely begs for. It's such a good take, he's nailed the emotions: Regret, sorrow, helplessness, numbness - it's all there. Absolutely perfect. And it's completely different to the Animals version, but one thing I have massive respect for this one for is how he's managed to build it up from a mournful whisper to a howling wail of desperation. So rousing... goosebumps every time. This is just sensational. And he was only twenty...

[@-2high2fly-]

He absolutely shit the bed with the vocals on this as he does with every song I've ever heard from him. He can write a song with the best of them and play instruments great, but he sounds like a cat whose tail got ran over by a bicycle with glass in the tires. You would be proving their point dead right if you showed them this in an effort to prove he was a good singer 🤣

I keep thinking that our grandchildren's children will "discover" him all over again. But then maybe not. People can make fun of folk music or protest music, but at least the singers were addressing powerful issues. Here we have a Russian War, problems in the middle east, abortion rights being taken away, and some politicians who are free to slur ...well, anyone. Where are our singers? Our young people? American Idol and the Voice made every singer into a person chasing his/her own "brand". The only issue with Taylor Swift is her love life. Good for her, but there are not going to be the same kind of discussions about her music 60 years from now. (We bought the first album when I was 18 in 1966 not knowing it had been put out in '62.) Crazy beautiful times...

There’s something powerful about this version I can’t find in others, there’s an unspoken pain behind how it builds up through the song. The quiet mumble becomes a grieving howl filled with rage and anxiety. Like a lost drunkard in a ditch with a bottle. Is it as refined as the Animals version? Nah but that’s hardly the goal it’d seem. Bob got it right here, this song is a song of misery and he hits the nail on the head.

Bob Dylan is only 20 yrs old. His first Columbia Record Album. He sings with intention

[@jaw444]

dave van ronk created a version of this song that was different from the way people were playing it and it was very popular. dylan and van ronk were friends. dylan recorded van ronk's version on his first album, then he asked van ronk if it was ok with him. van ronk told him he was about to record it in a few weeks and asked dylan to wait til his next album, this is van rock's story, and dylan told him it was already on the record. this derailed their friendship for a while but van ronk got over it. van ronk was never going to have the fame that dylan had, which was already giving off the vibes of something special starting to build, if dylan hadn't recorded the song, it probably never would've got the animals attention, their recording made it a massive rock hit and brought the obscure folk song to the wide world.. van ronk had the pleasure of knowing that was the version of the song he created that ended up with such influence, he created the bass line, he had changed the chords from how people were playing it. and dylan loved it, it got sucked into his hyper creative sponging from the world around him

[@KingMinosxxvi]

@@jaw444 Whatever. I dont think the animals bit is true. This song has been around along time. The Dave Van Ronk version is the definative version. Bob Dylan doing a cover makes about as much sense jackson pollack making his living as an art forger. That is to say not only is it waste but he would (did) suck. I happen to think that Dylan is overrated as song writer (which is reasonable considering how he rated) and that the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Leonard Cohen are far more substantial Artists. So I have my Bias I suppose but there's no denying he was not much of a singer and it's clear here. Not only does he not a have voice but his voice has no soul of it's own. All you have to is listen to this version and then Van Ronk's to prove it.

Bob got this arrangement from Dave Van Ronk who crafted it from hearing many versions of it by original blues singers, and Dave brought it it a change of timing and chord structure he credits as coming from having been into jazz before he totally got into blues. i'd never listened to Davd's version before, check it out. Dylan loved how Dave played it, and when he was recording his new album, he recorded his version of Dave's version. then he came to Dave and said "Hey is it ok if record your House of the Rising Sun? And Dave said "i'm about to record it in a couple of weeks, can you just wait until after that?" and Dylan said "Uh oh." he told Dave he had already recorded it. They had been really good friends and Dave was mad and they weren't talking for a while. It got patched up, their women were good friends too, they hung out. Dave's wife got him to get over it. But check out, you can see how it influenced Dylan, and if you'd been around back then, you'd know Dave had a way of doing it that wasn't like anybody else, he had made changes and he used his own vocal style, and Dylan used that. it doesn't mean Dylan was a thief. People in that environment learned each other's songs all the time---keeping in mind, this was a traditional folk song, no copyright. it was the arrangement that was the creative part, bringing more out of the song. i never knew about any of this until in the past year, i was reading Suze Rotolo's book about life in those days, when she and dylan were together for about 4 years, and she told that story in the book. Today on Facebook somebody posted that today was Dave's birthday and that caused me to do some reading up on what happened with House of the Rising Sun, and to listen to both versions. i dint' hear Dylan's first album until after i'd heard the Animals version so their version was all i knew about the song, and the big deal with that song was that first we only heard the short version, we didn't know their was a longer version. AM commercial radio required songs to not be longer than about 3 minutes because they had to fit all their commercials in, that's how their bills were paid, but when music changed, following the Beatles and all the English groups that followed, i think House of the Rising Sun was the first one where it was learned that there was a longer version, maybe a DJ slipped it out, but after that everybody only wanted to hear the long one which was about 5 minutes i think, it had another verse or two from the original recording and the long keyboard solos

[@jaw444]

​@Jordan - he is the artist who used it in a way where every word was shot like an arrow that could penetrate to the core, he brought all kinds of songs and kinds of music to more people, not necessarily directly but through other artists who covered his songs, some with substantial star power. Dylan fell in love with music, he's said that and it showed, specific artists and songs and styles, and he grew dynamically from how he experienced the art that drew him in, he idolized various artists, it's well known he idolized Woody Guthrie, maybe not as well known how he idolized Little Richard, but his feelings of wanting to get into their souls and make the effect it had on him his own, were not any unethical kind of theft, the way i think of theft, ripping off. He recreated what he imitated, and this was like a number of traditions which were not commercial, just traded off among musicians performers. Dylan was inspired by the lyrics to a Paul Clayton song from which Dylan created Don't Think Twice it's Al right. That one went to court and was settled out of court. they were two different songs, but dylan used a couple of lyrical ideas from Clayton's song which was called Who's Gonna Buy Your Ribbons when I'm Gone.

It showed so much of his feelings and inner understanding. No bad songs on the whole album -- Baby Let Me Follow You Down, all the real blues songs. I saw him in 1964 with a few hundred people and it wasn't even sold out. And I loved his change to electric. So much genius. All Along the Watchtower. People often say covers of his songs were better than his originals -- none had his sensitivity and feeling (The Animals, Jimi Hendrix).

Should use this for a Fallout game about New Orleans - with the Mississippi River being a major part of the conflict (even now we still use it for freight, imagine its importance to a post apocalyptic America). Could have so many cool things like Mark Twain references, riverboats, and a bunch of cool places like Redstone Arsenal (a tributary goes pretty close by) and dams, not to mention naval battles and potentially even opening up the Caribbean. But I guess Bethesda doesn’t know how to make cool stuff...

[@itasakati]

Unfortunately a lot of that is New Vegas based which was mostly created by Obsidian. Since Bethesda only cares about making profit off of micro transactions, and own the rights to fallout, it's a good possibility there will never be a good fallout game again, or possible even a fallout game in general.

Yeah they really chose boston out of all possibilities lol boring

[@heron9320]

Bob Dylan , Respect

[@retiredyeti5555]

Bought this album when it came out - still have it, still play it once in a while. Still a fan of Bob.

[@charliestoops8815]

You were definitely one of the smart ones, not a lot of people bought this one and to this day a lot of people still think Freewheelin’ is his first album. As much as that one proved he was a genius songwriter, his masterful interpretation of this song and the others prove his oft-forgotten debut is a gem as well.

[@retiredyeti5555]

@@charliestoops8815 - I also have a mint copy of the very first Motown record, and a couple of Sun 45's by Elvis in my collection, which dates back to cylinders, and the machines to play all of them on.

[@charliestoops8815]

Nice, you definitely hit the jackpot

[@outbackthief7688]

This song is amazing! An upstart British band should cover this song!

Never thought much of his voice but he did good here

[@adpgarden6902]

My favourite version of the song. What would we do without you Bobby

[@Krendall2]

Bob Dylan is generally more well-known for his songwriting than his singing. Credit where it's due, he does a rather good job here.

[@billcheringal8935]

I thought I had already heard this version. But after listening to this I realized that this version is longer. And better.I heard many versions of this song and this is by far the most powerful and gut wrenching.

[@justinbrantley4252]

There here evening on the aught four zero nine and 24, I still love this one here. I’ve been listening 20 plus years, already.

[@franzstrip]

Best version by far.

[@agachess]

Yeah

[@veritysimone]

I worship Bob Dylan but no, not the best version.

[@GrandShi]

A good song to kick things off with. This version inspired my own version of the song. I'll never get tired of this one.

[@xavitbz]

Best version ever.

[@WolfgangvonBoyen]

Don't be afraid of light and sun, because the house of darkness the earth is even much harder. This is what Bob is telling with this song.

[@joycefolsom130]

love his voice

[@BobDylan-1]

Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music….❤️

[@giuliogrifi7739]

DRAMATIC SONG !!!

[@prnstarinterlude6510]

There are two songs that have made me cry because of their beauty those songs being, Imagine - John Lennon which was the first abstract song I listened to and this song, it’s more than a song, it’s a life. Bob Dylan is a genius

[@edsewall4904]

Amazing, Bob.

[@ocangaconaliteratura]
