"And Lord, I know, I'm one." Hints of a rough existence throughout the song. Then the ultimate surrender to a life of degradation: "I'm goin' back to New Orlee-ans, to wear that ball and chain." What a message; a foreboding message to ANYONE who follows "his" path of "sin and misery."

The Animals had a booking on Britain's Top Music program 'Ready Steady Go'. The band raced in to De Lane Lea Studios in Soho to record House Of The Rising Sun prior to their TV show appearance. The Animals set up and after a quick mic level check recorded the song in 1 live take. Those on hand said the band was in and out of the studio in under 30 minutes with a completed mono mix ready for release. Amazing!! I loved this reaction MrsPP. Take care, RNB

This is a traditional folk song---from the 1850's. Originally the story was about a young GIRL, being snared into prostitution, at the Rising Sun. Brothel. Over the years the lyrics changed to appeal to a wider audience. Many stars have recorded this, including Bob Dylan. who first heard the Animals version on his car Radio, and pulled over, to listen to it. he was most impressed. This record was Number one in the USA for 6 weeks.

I think he is a baritone. He has a commanding voice, similar to Jim Morrison's. This song is an old blues tune dating way back before this band. Andy Griffith (yes, THAT Andy Griffith from The Andy Griffith Show that you might have seen on tv) has a version he recorded back in the 50's. There are others as well. Yes, The Animals in this video were quite young, in their 20's, but they had old souls.

He had hit the neck of his guitar on the prop pillar as he passed through and they had to do a second take from that point. His sheepish grin was so incongruous to the grim and intense ending to the song. You can see he raises his guitar extra high as he passes through the opening on the second take.

Song was made in the recording studio in one take between gigs to save money. However this clip is from a movie film made after the record was a big hit. The clip was filmed in 1964 or 65 as part of a UK colour film called Pop Gear for paying theatre release. This explains the early high quality color images we luckily have for this mimed from the record performance and also a few other top UK only music artists from when the film was made. KZitem has quite a few segments from this UK movie Pop Gear with the US contribution being to re title it Go Go Mania and add a few intro Go Go dancer segments to satisfy the US audience. A KZitem search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows lots of surviving segments : kzitem.info?search_query=pop+gear+go+go+mania The intro by TCM explains the background of the film. While some of these segments were likely to be shown on US Colour TV much later , the source would originally be this high quality film. Rising Sun is the standout, but the Honeycombs with Have I the Right is a landmark too, In 1964 images not recorded on film would be much lower quality videotape, not the notable quality images used here. Especially with the inferior US pioneering NTSC standards often called Never The Same Colour. So lucky the film was made instead of relying on low standard video tape recordings that were usually taped over anyway to save tape cost money or made by filming a TV screen with poor quality results. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. A better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source in KZitem postings these days. These films mainly used mimed performances as the vast majority of theatre audiences wanted to hear the music performance as they knew it from the records. Hope this helps people who have the colorized and vidoetape theories that usually pop up.

He was indeed very young at the time. But in regards to how old he presents? Jeez. I've read a lot of Dickens, and it seems like all the way into the 1960s, the working class in the UK was still living in a very bleak, Dickensian experience. Like that is one very old, puffy, jaded 22 year old child. Also, I've seen this clip many times. And in the final segment, I always find myself wanting to poke that guitarist who's following behind him in the eye . Like, dude! Seriously? This is the emotional climax of an amazing song, why are you following him around and grinning like you just gifted us with a funny surprise fart?

The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors. It was located on Louis St. New Orleans and is STILL STANDING TODAY. The earliest version of this song recorded as far as I know was in 1933 called Rising Sun Blues. kzitem.info/news/bejne/mY-vuWuEnGhllZg Eric Burden and the Animals had a string of hits, Burden also introduced WAR with ‘Spill the Wine’ who went on with their own string of hits including “Low Rider” (a term for one who drives a lowered car. The low rider style, culture was created by Americans of Mexican descent or “chicanos” in Los Angeles, California in the 1930’s.

A tune from way back that has held up all these years. And as you heard, to sing the lead vocal requires a lot of belting the notes. I’ve learned to do that over the years, on my own vocal journey. Still, I’ve never tried to sing this entire song. I only once attempted the first lines of verse one, a capella and at full volume. It seems one of my close neighbors didn’t care for how loud I was. But, maybe one day I’ll cover the entire tune.
