  • The oldest known recording of the song is by Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, who recorded it on 6 September 1933.
    The most successful cover of the song was The Animals' rendition of the song which is recognized as one of the classics of British pop music.

    The Animals - "House of the Rising Sun"  (1964)

    i LOVE how this lead singer looks like such a young "boy" --  and then that VOICE!! Such a deep gorgeous voice! (Well, the guy is rather gorgeous, too, ha!)

    I love this version of the song.

  • I really like their cover of See See Rider. It's a little upbeat, instead of blues style, but no ear plugs are necessary.
    Here you go ... the video isn't that great, but you get the idea.

  • Didn't get a chance listen these songs other day when I was reading answers :) I love this song!  .... It reminds me family bbqs when I was kid  ....I have  few uncles in bands so we would sit around fire late night they would play guitar sing . Then my grandfather would announce his turn... always sang this song then immediately pass out in his chair ... Then party really started :p thanks  for memory :)

  • Yes two and by the same band doing the covers.  Both the originals sucked big ones.  GWAR made them not so bad though.
