"House of the Rising Sun" is one of those "traditional" songs whose origins are lost to antiquity. This arrangement by the keyboard player, Alan Price, has become the most recognizable and best selling version ever recorded. The lead singer is Eric Burden who is one of the great voices of the British Invasion of the early 1960's. "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" is an Animals song you might consider doing a reaction to. In an interesting side note, the bass player is a bloke named Chas Chandler and when the Animals original lineup underwent major changes in 1966 Chandler took up artist management. Just before leaving London for the US he happened to hear a song called "Hey Joe" at a club. I don't know who was playing it but Chandler fell in love with it and decided that when he got back to England he'd find a band to record that song. He was about to embark on his last US tour with the Animals and also happened to be dating an American woman who lived in New York so we arrived in NYC a few days early. He and his girlfriend went down to Cafe Wha? in New York's Greenwich Village one evening and the band started playing :Hey Joe", the very song he had heard just before leaving for the USA. He decided it must be fate and introduced himself to the guitarist and frontman and asked him if he'd like to go to England and record that song with him. The guitarist was none other than Jimi Hendrix. When Chandler got him to England he introduced Jimi to Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchel and they formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience. The rest, as they say, is history.

It's funny, you should say that there is a gal now. I can't quite place my finger on it once I think of it. I'll throw it out there. But this is actually an old folk song. There are words to it and what the animals did is just chose. A particular verse out of it's like you are my sunshine. And then you have the my sunshine, and then you have the second verse because you are my sunshine. It's actually quite a long song if you listen to the entire song and that's what they did here. So they just chose what they wanted out of the song and they didn't magnificently, just like who's the the ball? Do the disturbed and redoing Simon & Garfunkel so. There we go, and also you've got to give it to Eric because you don't hear him. Take a breath when I took music lessons this woman. Well, I'm old, but her husband tot opera singers in the 1800s. Anyhow, you're not supposed to be able to hear someone take a breath. I'm trying to remember the other artist. When he's singing. Uh, disturb will do that. He'll move his face away from the Mike so that he can get that breath. So you don't hear him taking that breath these teachers? It's extremely insulting or it used to be I should say

The Animals are a Blues Rock group that were of the "British Invasion" of the mid-1960s, and were contemporaries with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, and The Yardbirds. They had several hit songs, such as ""Please Don''t Let Me Be Misunderstood", ""It's My Life", "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place", and "See See Rider". Later in the decade, lead singer Eric Burdon left The Animals, and teamed up with the US Funk band, War, in 1970. Eric Burdon And War had a hit song, entitled "Spill The Wine", and they gave a legendary TV performance on the West German music program, "Beat Club", and that TV performance is available for viewing here on KZbin. I highly recommend that you react to "Spill The Wine".

The main reason they are mostly serious is because this song is about addiction. The House of the Rising Sun is a "house of ill repute" or a brothel. Alcohol drugs prostitution gambling. So when he says " One foot on the platform the other foot on the train, I'm goin back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain" is a metaphor for succumbing to addiction.

A song that withstands 57 years and people still want to hear it, feel it, examine it. Amazing. It remains a mystery of the real meaning and if it’s real or fictional. Google says: The phrase "House of the Rising Sun" is often understood as a euphemism for a brothel, but it is not known whether the house described in the lyrics was an actual or a fictitious place. One theory is that the song is about a woman who killed her father, an alcoholic gambler who had beaten his wife. Therefore, the House of the Rising Sun may be a jailhouse, from which one would be the first person to see the sunrise (an idea supported by the lyric mentioning "a ball and chain", though that phrase has been slang for marital relationships for at least as long as the song has been in print). Because women often sang the song, another theory is that the House of the Rising Sun was where prostitutes were detained while being treated for syphilis. Since cures with mercury were ineffective, going back was very unlikely.

"The House of the Rising Sun" is a traditional folk song, sometimes called "Rising Sun Blues". It tells of a person's life gone wrong in the city of New Orleans; many versions also urge a sibling or parents and children to avoid the same fate. The most successful commercial version, recorded in 1964 by the British rock band the Animals, was a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart and also in the US and France. As a traditional folk song recorded by an electric rock band, it has been described as the "first folk rock hit". The song was first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but probably has its roots in traditional English folk song.

A: HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN has roots as far back as the 17th century and was based on a British folk melody. The melody can be linked with "Lord Barnard and Little Musgrove" among other traditional tunes. The "rising sun" has for years been a symbol for brothels in British and American ballads and sung mostly by both black and white Southern musicians. Bluesman Texas Alexander first recorded it in 1928 and in 1937 the lyrics were finally written down as the song was being sung by a miner's daughter, Georgia Turner, in Middlesborough, Kentucky. The lyrics were then adapted to a male point of view and made popular by singer Josh White. Roy Acuff commercially recorded the song on Nov 3, 1938; then Bob Dylan recorded a version (it's been said THIS was the song that encouraged Dylan to switch from acoustic to electric guitar). Then the song was picked up and made into a #1 hit by The Animals in 1964. But as to the original writer? It seems many people made various contributions to this song over the past few centuries, musically and lyrically, making it what it is today. The version we're familiar with is a story about a brothel in New Orleans named after Madame Marianne Le Soleil Levant, which is French for "Rising Sun." The brothel opened in 1862 when Union Troops occupied the town and closed in 1874 when the town received too many complaints by neighbors.

The bass player of this band Chas Chandler is the guy who helped a then Jimmy James become Jimi Hendrix and paid for his flight back to London with him, paid for his lodgings and overheads and then together helped recruit an English bass player and drummer to formed The Jimi Hendrix Experience. He paid for space for the band to practice and innovate and got their first gigs and invited every star he knew to these early gigs but still couldn't get the band a record contract so Chandler stuck his neck out and paid for the bands first single to be Hey Joe and also produced it. He also paid for large batch of singles of the song to be made. Luckily it was a major UK hit a and the band got their record contract and Hendrix became a star. Chandler managed and produced most of Hendrix's music, it was even his idea for Hendrix to set his guitar on fire as a stage stunt.

Cool calm talent....no fancy fx or overdubbing...the voice...the instruments and nowhere to hide!! Love the Animals 🥰 Sometimes there’s no need to totally ‘understand’ the words...who cares!!! Lol it’s the whole ‘feel’ it gives that’s most important 🤟🏽

I was 15 when Rising Sun was in the UK charts. We were all like, wow! The miming in the video is pretty crap, but we were used to that; live performances on TV were a real rarity. Jimi Burleigh, below, knows his stuff! No-one knows for sure, but the most likely guesses are that the Rising Sun was either a brothel or a women's prison in New Orleans; in the earliest recorded versions, it's "many a poor girl". The Animals, like most of the bands in the British Invasion, were steeped in blues, soul and Motown. They exported those genres back to The States in a format which White radio stations could play. Yeah, I know... Listen to the bassline, it doesn't change all the way through. They'd reinvented a 400-yo form called the passacaglia or chaconne (yes, really! - a classical composer told me that), in which the bassline is the fixed point and everything else moves around it. They never did anything else as good - but then, who has? It's still one of my all-time top-3 singles (usually #1).

Always adored this song, I grew up on it, although it came out way before my time. and Eric's voice is something else. As is the keyboard playing, They have some more songs just as amazing as this one, I'd love for you to react to: The Animals songs: * Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood * Hit the Road Jack * I Put a Spell on You * It's My Life * Many Rivers to Cross * River Deep - Mountain High * We Gotta Get Out of This Place * When I Was Young
