I'm not sure this cover is "better" but it is really damn good and brings out a lot in the song you don't get in the AC version.

The Animals...House of the Rising Sun....far superior to the 1933 Clarence Ashley original

DianneW · 11-10-2021, 03:57 AM

there are so many versions...
Where is the actual House of the Rising Sun?
St. Louis St.
Herridge pulls out a guidebook to “Offbeat New Orleans,” which asserts that the real House of the Rising Sun was at 826-830 St. Louis St. between 1862 and 1874, and purportedly named for its madam, Marianne LeSoleil Levant, whose surname in translation would mean “The Rising Sun''
This should cover it!

Finally the Authors/Composers
Ronnie Gilbert
Fred Hellerman
Lee Hays
