    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.

      That is one theory. From some of the research I have done, the song goes back to England. It is the story of a guy growing up in a house of prostitution and gambling and thievery.

      I don't know if this was a place named after the song, but there was a Brothel called The House of the Rising Sun in New Orleans in 1975. I went in and had a drink. Right on Bourbon Street. I assumed the song was about that place.

      Actually the source of “Rising Sun” is officially unknown. It is a folk song 1st heard in England. The opening line has Lowestoft, an area in Suffolk England, as the location of a brothel called Rising Sun. By 1905 it was being sung by coal miners in Appalachia US & the location was changed to New Orleans. The lyrics was put on paper in the US in the 1920s. Someone recorded in the early 30s then Roy Acuff recorded it in the late 30s. There were other recordings in the 30s & 40s. Andy Griffith recorded it in the late 50s. Joan Baez & Bob Dylan each recorded it in the early 60s.
      The Animals said they first heard it while on tour in England and began singing it during their concerts. Due to the reaction of the crowd when they sang it they chose to make a recording of it.
      The lyrics varied depending on the viewpoint-a female prostitute warning customers or a former male customer warning future customers.

    This song is a rock classic. The Animal were one of The British Invasion groups that came to America in 1964. While they had a string of several hits, House Of The Rising Sun is their most famous song. Eric Burdon was their lead singer. Later, he would leave the Animals to form a new group called War during the early 70s.

    released in 1964. They had 10 top 20 hits in the 60's and were part of the initial groups in the British Invasion. Their influences were from American R&B and early rock, with a little folk-rock in a few of their songs. One of the first groups whom heavily used the keyboard in the melodies. A few other top 10 hits include: " We gotta get out of this place, Its my Life, and Don't let me be misunderstood". After the group disbanded, Eric Burdon formed the group known as "Eric Burdon and war, then it was just known as War.

    I was very young, like 4th grade, when I first remember learning this this song. I think I saw Eric Burdon and the Animals first on Ed Sullivan. The vocals are so powerful, but I was drawn to that organ. I wanted to be the one playing that part. The song was very popular, and done by lots of local bands. Remember "battles of the bands?" Wow, I'm going back a long way, but when I was in elementary school, after the skating rink closed on Friday nights, they brought in local bands. I guess it seemed like a safe place for pre-teens to hear live music. This song was a mainstay.

    The song is of course much older than this recording. It’s a traditional song first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but has origins and versions going back hundreds of years in England. That’s part of the power of this song and others like it.
    While Eric Burden and the Animals are dressed up by their PR in matching suits, like many other bands of the early 60s, the grit of their upbringing in Northern England’s industrial region comes through in their performance. Great song and great performance.
    You say you like folk-rock, so I wonder if you’re familiar with bands like Fairport Convention or Pentangle? Fairport are the original folk-rock band, blending traditional English songs with electric instruments, and their album Liege and Lief was groundbreaking. Pentangle, meanwhile, had a more jazzy feel. Would love to see your reaction to either of them.

      The music history part is quite interesting. There are many songs that have been reused and re-recorded over the ages, with some lyric changes. For example, "Whiskey in the Jar" is an old Scottish folk song from the 17th Century. When I first heard it in the 1980s it was sung by the South African easy listening singer Roger Whittaker, and then it was redone by Metallica in 1999. Also, "Lover's Concerto," lyrics written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, and sung by The Toys in 1965, is based on the 18th Century composition "Minuet in G Major" by Christian Petzold (via J.S. Bach).

    I. FREAKING. LOVE. THIS SONG!!
    I just LOVE 1960s music in general - and the 1970s - reflecting all of that social rebellion/experimentation that was taking place... and before the 1980s "techno" sounds started coming in.

    Not really that unusual a look for any band in 1964. Worth mentioning that this is perhaps the only song that knocked the Beatles off the #1 perch at the time. I have listened to this hundreds of times and it still chills me. Gotta go along with Jillwanlin below that my daughter surprised and touched my heart one day when I scanned past this song and she leaped up and demanded I turn it back because she "just adores" this song. Made my whole year!

    The boys from Newcastle! Simple but quality video production holds your attention as while taking in the song.
    Another classic is "We've Gotta Get Out of This Place;" had a tough job and that song by The Animals came on the Oldies station on the drive home many days of the week.

    This was one of the songs on my learn-to-play guitar list when I was 14. You had to have clear ringing chords and good right-hand control. (For a beginner.) The Animals had many great songs.

    Eric Burden is the singer. From the north east of England. He was born in May 1941 so was about 23 years old when this version of the song was released. Great singer and the last time I heard he was still performing to this day.

    1966 I went to a concert at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Eric Burton and the Animals at the time and the warm up band that I've heard no one react to all the time I've been listening to reactions. The Associations with their hits: Cherrish, Never My Love, Along Came Mary, Wendy for a start. Mom would know the group.

    Eric is an amazing singer. I love his work with the first iteration of War. There is also a killer version of the hymn 'Amazing Grace' by The Blind Boys of Alabama sung to the melody of this song.

  • @GSD-hd1yh

    The Animals had begun using it as their closing number to differentiate themselves from acts that always closed with straight rockers. The song was recorded in just one take on May 18, 1964, Producer Mickie Most initially did not want to record the song at all, but said that on this occasion: "Everything was in the right place ... It only took 15 minutes to make so I can't take much credit for the production". As recorded, "The House of the Rising Sun" ran four and a half minutes, regarded as far too long for a pop single at the time, but he changed his mind and put it out at its full length

    The video is from a 1965 movie called Pop Gear (Go-Go Mania in the US) and they are lypsynching to the 1964 recording. So, Eric voice is 23 and he's 24 in the video.

  • @danielslover8669

    Another great reaction. I agree with everything y’all said. I’m not sure what genres you want to react to, but Tyler Childers has a voice that hits me in the feels like this song. I don’t know whether to suggest “ nose on the grindstone “ or “White House road”. Both are awesome. He has a lot of other good songs, but these hit me hard.

    The keyboard most commonly used in 60's bands was the Hammond Organ which has a distinctive sound. The Animals didnt really tour overseas because Alan Price on the organ refused to fly.

  • @hectorwd1985

    If you watch this video again, take note of a couple of subtle details.
    1. The drummer is chewing gum.
    2. The keys of the organ are reversed colors.
    And my personal favorite...
    3. The guitarist is probably grinning because they moved the organist clear across the room away from the drummer.

    Based on the number of different blues songs from the 1930s and 1940s week before my time I’m 68 but it’s good to see the generations coming together you and your mother it was way before time when that song was originally and septic down in New Orleans by the blues players back in the 1930s

    There is no dispute. The House of the Rising Son was a house of ill repute in New Orleans. It was demolished in 1977.
