Love the haunting, blues sound. If you like this song, then check out "Just Like a Bird Without a Feather" that Samuel L. Jackson sings in the movie Black Snake Moan.
the Animals were, due to censorship, made to change the narrator from the prostitute to a gambler.
Every misogynist should be made to hear this version, and to actually listen to the original lyrics; it might shock him out of his complacency for once in his damn life.
(I am not female, nor gay, nor effeminate; ergo, all such accusations as replies to this comment are "poisoning the well" arguments made, for the most part, by chauvinistic knuckle-draggers [but, again, only for the most part])
Of course, anyone who makes those kinds of ad hominem claims, is much too stupid to understand my original comment in the first place.
Consider this, for once, male sexists: 80%-95% of prostitution is controlled pimps, who are among the most callous of human beings. They acquire their "hos" via driving around and picking up naive, rebellious young girls (average age of entrance into prostitution: 14yo!), feigning love, and then exploiting the girls' naive emotional attachment, enslaving them.
I love this song. It reminds me of the abuse and addictions I've escaped, I used to be trapped there, even after it was years since I had been hurt, but some how I finally escaped it, Now when ever I listen to this song I feel filled with enough strenth to never return to that horrid place again.
@eaterHP ... it sounds like a gambling den/brother blues if u listen to The Animals but Dylan talks about the young girl. Anyway there are words that do not fit ... it has been a long time, but things like "wearing a ball and chain" and "ending life in rising sun"... in new Orleans. i may just do some research and get this stright in my mind :)
It's a brothel, working the industry becomes a ball & chain...because you can never get it out of your system, the "easy" money is like drug addiction.
It becomes all the women know, & they become immune to the initial shame from doing it...they become numb, & just go with the flow after awhile.
By the time they've been in the industry a few years, they stop knowing anyone who isn't in the industry...or in some offshoot, that carries the same baggage & the same types hustling.
I like her voice... but I'm not sure I like this rendition of the song. In my opinion, House of the Rising Sun can only be sung perfectly by, well, a black lady who lived the life the song is talking about. This is just a tad too sing songy, if you know what I mean. :)
It's amazing to me that people who don't know each other and are drawn to the same musical material can be hurling vile cursewords at each other, within hours. What makes you folks so angry?
@Wollenschrank well obviously you are the stupid cunt ;) try to find some singer today that always sings better live without that technical shit and all that charlatanism.
Oh, what a voice! And a great song, too. I'm a metalhead as well as a classically trained pianist, and a child of the 80s but my parents brought me up listening to their music and I am SO grateful!

A friend insisted I come over to her house to listen to this new singer. From the moment I heard Silver Dagger and what followed I was transfixed. I'd never heard a voice so pure, so penetrating, so perfect, so gentle. I searched out Folksingers 'Round Harvard Square which contain 5 or 6 songs that still are to me the purest of her recordings. I later attended some of her concerts where she was introducing this new guy, Bob Dylan, he was pretty good too.
@CrimsonSunshine I'm far from old...I'm just not a complete moron like you who makes assumptions about a song being the original when you're completely ignorant to the origins of it.
@greatestxgift lol aww looks its using its brain on teh internetz so cute! ur right i dont know much about music but you wanna know why? because i dont have time to waste figuring out which song is the original. i just choose which version i like. if you dont like plz.. write me a comment.. print it out.. then shove it straight up your ass cause it'll be easier to read when im fucking you in the ass
@CrimsonSunshine Let me get this straight: You don't have time to find out who the original person is to record this song but you do have time to write comments about this being the original on a YouTube page? Also, I think you've also made it painfully clear that you like to fuck other men in the ass. I'm sorry but I'm not homosexual (not that there is anything wrong with that) so please go chase cock elsewhere.
And what is the "original", since its known to be an old folk song. Or are you refering to "Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster", who recorded this one first?
Although I prefer the musical arrangement of the Animals' version, the lyrics and delivery of this one are so much deeper and poignant. It's telling of our culture that the story of a woman unwillingly trapped into prostitution has been superceded by the twagic tale of her poor, poor client.
@leptoceratops hmmm... i was under impression that it was a folk song, last words of a black girl awaiting execution. House of the rising sun is the jail house.
@nbx2au it has sort become commonly accepted that this song is a black song, but many claim it was an English song adapted in America. Either way it most commonly thought to be about a brothel
@neckronn99 LOL no they weren't every white chick had no ass or tits. i think what you meant to say was girls were SMARTER in the 60's tho.. i'm not sure if that's true either
Dude, I was there-- my 5th grade teacher would sit on the front edge of her desk to talk to the class in her mini-skirt and go-go boots. I paid attention, believe me.
Oh, and watching Goldie Hawn on Laugh-in, and praying my mother wouldn't come around the corner from the kitchen during the bikini-dance sequences. I miss that....
First time hearing her version,still like The Animals better for the harder feel. Still a great version here. Judas Priest also covered one of her songs.
@TheRockerchef Yeah !! Diamonds & Rust, On the Sin after Sin album 1977 !! And later released live album Unleashed in the East think that was 1978/79. and after that on live/compilations Albums. In fact they still play it in their Tours
i know theres great versions of this song., but not with a voice like this!! she makes this song sound more like woodstock era, rather than a whorehouse... tommy.
@tommieparch Check out the version by Ronnie Gilbert of the Weavers backed by Fred Hellerman and Eric Darling on guitars and you'll hear another great voice. I've always regretted that Mary Travers never chose to record this song.
great voice forgot how good she isi've watched 10 versions of this song tonight Leadbelly , Animals ,Bon Jovi ,Frigjid pink ,Cool'O'Keefe' Sinead O'Connor' Dolly Parton'GeraldBoyClassical' Nina Simone' Joan Baez

@DemianHermann Don't mean to be rude, but that site was quite uninspiring to say the least. When you take a step back, and realize you are alone in the vastness of the cosmos, then you can truly appreciate that your time here on earth was but a second in the face of time and you at least got one good look at it. Appreciate your life, because many didn't get to live theirs.
Joan Baez' voice is the purest and most thrilling I have ever heard in 'popular' music. Easily operatic if she had wanted. This is so moving, pins should not drop anywhere when she sings. 65 years I've been around and my nerve endings still tingle when I hear her.
joan Baez was one of my first teachers after I feel that I was wakin g up from the propaganda! Period! Next up after Dylan is Aretha and so many more! I love this song. Donovan: Look up "Universal Soldier" and by Dylan an original "Ballad Of Hollis Brown". Peace
I can still remember the first time I heard this in the Navy Newport Library on a Tues nite listening to records in the library and there were some earphones and I put them on and The House of the Rising Sun was playing. Never had I heard a voice such as this. I was in love. It was the beginning of Feb 1962. And she still is the greatest!
The best I have found in research is that the song was written in the 1820's. It was wrottem frp, a man's point of view, who had frequented "houses of ill repute". The "ball and chain" was syphilis, incurable and deadly in that period. The writer was going home to die. (young)
@duffiedawg From what I understand, this song can describe many situations. Some people think the house of the rise sun is a hospital for the curing of syphilis, as you said, making the song from the persepctive of a prostitute; others think it is a slave prison and the ball and chain is literal; while others go a step further and say that the narrator of the song killed her abusive father and was sent to prison for it.
@Jay902017 Eric learned it from Joan's landmark 1st lp, just as Robert Plant learned "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" from her landmark 3rd lp, "JOAN BAEZ IN CONCERT." Jackson Browne and Janis Ian both said they learned to play guitar by copying her playing on the landmark 2nd Baez lp, "JOAN BAEZ VOL2."
This song was not made in 1933, but it was most liekly made in the early 1800's, from a man moving west who lost most of his money. No one know who wrote the song, but it deffeintly was NOT written in the 1900's.

One of the ultimate musical historians of the unsettling sixties.............a heroine for the tumult of a sexy new age she dove into to..............
My friend, you are sweet 16!! But you are right: If you were old enough you could die in peace. in maybe and hopefully 90 years ;-)) because to know and to listen to joan baez it might make it easier
I just did a cover of this song. It's not as awesome as here. Ah well, I guess we can't all be the Great Joan Baez. You know, because she's a goddess.
Dios, es increíble esta bella voz. Amo profundamente a esta mujer, que no camina, sino que se desliza sobre el piso. Vuela sobre los árboles, las colinas, y sobre todas las cosas materiales.
She's probably dead. Recorded in 1960 so she's over 50 years old.

joan Baez was one of my first teachers after I feel that I was wakin g up from the propaganda! Period! Next up after Dylan is Aretha and so many more! I love this song. Donovan: Look up "Universal Soldier" and by Dylan an original "Ballad Of Hollis Brown". Peace

I can still remember the first time I heard this in the Navy Newport Library on a Tues nite listening to records in the library and there were some earphones and I put them on and The House of the Rising Sun was playing. Never had I heard a voice such as this. I was in love. It was the beginning of Feb 1962. And she still is the greatest!

Haley Rynehart of American Idol did a pretty decent version as well. But no, she didn't deserve to win it all.

Ms. Baez's voice is so pure.

No, angels would sound like eric burdon, if they were singing this song.
Having said that I've been a fan of Joan Baez since I was a young hippie in the 60's.

For beardigady---
The best I have found in research is that the song was written in the 1820's. It was wrottem frp, a man's point of view, who had frequented "houses of ill repute". The "ball and chain" was syphilis, incurable and deadly in that period. The writer was going home to die. (young)

@duffiedawg From what I understand, this song can describe many situations. Some people think the house of the rise sun is a hospital for the curing of syphilis, as you said, making the song from the persepctive of a prostitute; others think it is a slave prison and the ball and chain is literal; while others go a step further and say that the narrator of the song killed her abusive father and was sent to prison for it.

@Jay902017 Eric learned it from Joan's landmark 1st lp, just as Robert Plant learned "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" from her landmark 3rd lp, "JOAN BAEZ IN CONCERT." Jackson Browne and Janis Ian both said they learned to play guitar by copying her playing on the landmark 2nd Baez lp, "JOAN BAEZ VOL2."

@taddyd1 Burdon learned it from Dylan's 1st album, which was in Am, just like Van Ronk had arranged it.

This song was not made in 1933, but it was most liekly made in the early 1800's, from a man moving west who lost most of his money. No one know who wrote the song, but it deffeintly was NOT written in the 1900's.

Dios, es increíble esta bella voz. Amo profundamente a esta mujer, que no camina, sino que se desliza sobre el piso. Vuela sobre los árboles, las colinas, y sobre todas las cosas materiales.
