Originally recorded by, doesn't mean written by. Most Lead Belly and similar era blues are old folk songs that were sang in families for years and years before ever recorded.

@broskiskunk Douche bag, if Led Zeppelin were a bunch of racists fucks like yourself their epic song wouldn't even exist.

[IAmBound]

Yeah I new that "house of the rising sun" was a cover from the animals, but I went and looked it up to find the original only to find out that the song was old as dirt and they have no idea who wrote it. Weird how the music has evolved into an industry huh?

[Loqquer]

Except for this song, they actually gave credit to the original writers.

[SFforlife]

It's called a 'cover'. Relax.

[MKGellAxx]

Exactly. At least someone understands

[RunInterviews]

if u cant appreciate both renditions of this song then you just arent a fan of music and dont understand it.

[yanksNgunners]

How the fuck can you defend Led Zeppelin at this point?!?! Led Zeppelin is straight caught out. Same lyrics Same riff. Fuck that shit! This shit is pure American!

[mrfester42]

Yes, but they're both still blues songs and the chord progressions are the same and the beat is the same although the tempos are different.

[mrfester42]

Amen!

[mrfester42]

These "poor blues legends" were dead and in the ground for decades when Zeppelin recorded and most of those songs were traditional numbers with countless variations so even the so called original recordings AND the attributions were not altogether accurate..

[Slick Rick]

Slender!!!
