Respond to this video...Listening to it, I hear it is in A minor and in 6/8 time. This key and the triple feel meter is suggestive of the Animals' House of the Rising Sun. Of course, there are some major differences between the two records. This is an original song, while House of the Rising Sun is so old it seems no one knows exactly its origin. Nonetheless, The Animals had a huge hit with it in 1964. Just thinking out loud.
@benjaminlhaines Without taking anything at all away from this fine song, you did nail it. There are many nods (who knows what's intentional and what's not) to "House" both in composition and arrangement. Listen to some of the guitar runs, it's there - but in a good way, not a derivative way.
It's been 36 years for me & it really takes me back to my "Hippie Days".:) But you can't find it even on a P2P site ... Perhaps because everything refers to an LP released in the UK. Don't know ... But it is so grand to have a listen to this track!
Great post! Love this album from way back! Thank you very much!!!

This woman is so incredible! She is as great as some of the very best. I wish I could find this song. Seems to be very rare.

@marguitar1 This seems an odd thing to say. You wish you could find this song. Well, here it is; you have found it!

Thanks for posting this. Haven't heard it in 30 years. It's so haunting. You'd never hear it today on the rado.
