The Animals a British blues rock band from the sixties, from Newcastle, they had a 30 slot in the studio and this was done in one take, no Auto tune or add effects, the lead vocals Eric Burden was 22 years old, and up to last 2022 was still performing at the age of 80 years old, absolutely a blast from the past 1964 , great reaction thanks 🙏

@@mervinmerencio6861 No, it's a traditional song first recorded in 1933 by Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, also recorded by Woody Guthrie, Josh White, and Leadbelly, among others in the 1940s. The Animals found it on Bob Dylan's first album, where they also found "Baby Let Me Follow You Down", which they also recorded a version of. Lead guitarist Hilton Valentine said of his intro that he "simply took Dylan's chord sequence and played it as an arpeggio". Simone may have had a successful cover of the song, but it was Dylan's version (released before Simone's) that The Animals based their version on.

On 18 May 1964, The Animals (after an evening concert in Liverpool) drove 6 hours back to London to perform on the U K's most popular music TV program "Ready Steady Go" Having very little time the band raced in to De Lane Lea Studios in Soho, London. After quickly setting up, the band did a very brief mic level check Then in one glorious moment in time, the band delivered (in one Live take!!) a masterpiece for the ages. They packed up and rushed off to their TV appearance. Britt, those at the session said the band was in and out in 20 to 30 minutes. WITH the mono mix in the can. Astonishing!! Best wishes.

Eric Burdon is an English blues man through and through. He's still going strong in his 80s. I grew up in that era of rock n roll, and everybody knew that the blues were the basis of the music we all began to play and love. BTW, at the time of this performance most of the rock bands wore matching costumes (usually suits) on stage. This song is very old, probably from the late 1800s. It is a "traditional folk song" that may have originated in England, rather than New Orleans. There is where the lyrics describe a woman as the protagonist (the house, after all, is a cat house). Check out Dolly Parton's version.

You will find that starting in the 1950's groups, bands and singers started to experiment with music. Expanding on long time traditions and blending different genres to create new sounds. Then the electric guitar brought a whole new sound to the mix leading to electric keyboards and so many other electronic advances. If you stay in the pre 80's you'll hear a lot of pure vocal talent; the era of NO auto tune. So many of the early rockers were classically trained when they were young and took that training to the music they created.

This was the beginning of the era of folk-rock. The Animals were a British blues band, and this was their first record (I think). The song itself is a classic American folk song that has been done numerous times by various folk and blues singers, but this was the first time it broke into the pop sphere (they pinched it from Bob Dylan, who sang a version on his first album). I remember this coming out in 1964 and we were all totally stunned by it. We played it full blast in the school music room instead of Bach or Mendelssohn, and the music teacher was not pleased! Sorry about the rubbishy set-up on the TV show. They had very restricted technology back then and also weren't used to featuring bands like this.

Funny story about the Animals pinching this song from Dylan. Dylan pinched it from folkie, Dave Von Ronk. Von Ronk once told how Dylan came to him after Dylan had recorded his first album and asked for Von Ronk's permission to play his arrangement of House of the Rising Sun. Von Ronk said, "Well I kinda wanted to record it first." To which Dylan said "Uh-oh" because Dylan had already put it on his first album. Then when Von Ronk came out with his recording, people accused him of stealing Dylan's version. Von Ronk got a kick out of it when Dylan later told him he couldn't play House of the Rising Sun any more because people accused him of stealing it from the Animals. 😄

Some consider this the most mysterious song of the 60s. Apparently, there were two House if Rising Suns in New Orleans when this song was written long ago. One house was an orphanage, the other, a bar. Either one could be related to the song. Ie, “It’s been the ruin of many a poor boy” seems to relate to the orphanage. Then again, “I’m going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain” indicates he’s talking about returning to that bar and continue on being an alcoholic. It’s been quite a debate as to what that House was.

Love your reactions. You are really perceptive and display a very quick take on the songs, which you express well. The Animals are a pretty unique band, with a style you can't mistake for anyone else. Eric Burdon's vocals are only part of that, if the most apparent. I would recommend "It's My Life" as the next song from this band. It has a harsh, cynical lyric to it, but I think it is one of the best produced songs of the era. The way the guitar and bass accompany the vocal is at once simple and ingenious. You could delete the vocal and have a magnificent instrumental by itself, but together they produce a magical blend that is mesmerizing. I recommend the studio version for sound quality.

This is one of many covers. The earliest is probably a 1937 recording. According to an old American Folk Songs book I have it states: 'A ragged Kentucky Mountain girl recorded this modern Southern white song for me in 1937 in Middlesborough, Kentucky, the hardboiled town in the Cumberland Gap on the Tennessee border.This blues song of a lost girl probably derives from some older British piece. At any rate,the house of the Rising Sun occurs in several risque English songs, and the melody is one of several for the ancient and scandalous ballad Little Musgrave ' There are also 8 verses, too many for a pop song of the sixties. Certainly more than the statutory 3 minutes or so. Excepting Dylan of course!

Man!!! Young peple have no idea what they've been missing if they do not explore music of the 60s and early 70s (and later 70s for that matter), especially if you like R&B and Blues and Jazz. While there are the British bands (there are many Ameerican bands/artists I like from the period too) that move more toward music that is influenced by Classical Music, there are many who are very true to the R&B/Blues roots of Rock & Roll. This is the music I grew up with - my dad was mainly a jazz musician but we listened to all kinds of music.

I saw The Animals in 1967/8 in Pittsburgh, PA. But they weren't the top performers. Another of the performers was a band you may have heard of them: The Rolling Stones. The top performer was Herman's Hermits. BTW, the House of the Rising Sun was a house of ill repute in New Orleans. The rising sun was a red lantern above the door of the house. The song is actually from an old folk song.

Eric Berdon was only 23 when this was recorded, which is insane to me because I am 23 and wish I could sing like that. We also share a birthday, May 11th.

i still can't believe i was lucky enough to have seen them. it was early 80s, '81 or '82. i was living in the yukon, and one summer, did an exchange program, with a guy from toronto. i was young, it was a youth exchange, through molson canadian. i went and spent a week or so in toronto, with his family, then he came and spent a week up in the yukon with my family. well, in toronto, molson sponsored everything, all sports, all concerts, etc. i was in absolute heaven. his dad was pretty high up in the molson company. very nice house, and every day when he came home from work, he popped the trunk on the car, and we emptied the trunk, which was filled with cases of beer. the days were spent going to every sporting event in town, blue jays games, etc. and every other moment was going to concerts with backstage passes and the works, all free from molson. the animals, peter gabriel, steppenwolf, krokus, and my mind has gone blank trying to remember all the bands i saw. incredible experiences and memories.

This is a traditional folk song with many different verses, often told from a woman’s point-of-view. Dave Van Ronk popularised this arrangement and Dylan recorded it on is first album.

An interesting fact about the song House of the Rising Sun is that nobody knows who wrote the original song. If I remember correctly it started being performed in the 1930s but the author is a mystery. There have been several versions of this song made over the years.

The Animals were a British band from Newcastle. You should take a deeper look at British music, especially the stuff that didn't make it across the pond. Give Little Simz a look, especially 'Point and kill', also Stormzy, you'll get tons of new subs.

This was the first group sent over from Britian after the Beatles. Their management company made them get similar hair cuts and wear suits to capitalize on the Beatles wave. The Rolling Stones came after this.

The lead singer, Eric Burden, was also in the group “War”. He is soulful and amazing. Also, they performed at the Monterrey Pop festival in 1967. They did a killer cover of “Paint It Black”

American culture had become cool during the war since the yanks had ice cream and chocolate, plus cowboy movies. Add the fifties when everybody wanted a bright red Cadillac land yacht and anything American was prestige. The other factor is that Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow, London and Cardiff were all port cities and the shipping companies used to ballast their ships with recycled waste which could include comics and old vinyl records which were a gold mine for kids. Things the Ameicans thought were old fashioned worthless junk like blues records, last months superhero comics, its all got snapped up and added to local tastes. For some reaason music took off in Liverpool and Newcastle, Glasgow adopted the comics so we got the Animals and they got Garth Ennis. Go figure!

House of the Rising Son was first recorded in the 1925 in Appalachia but it is thought to have roots to English folk music. Eric Burdon later joined an American funk band (African American) called "War", and the band went by the name "Eric Burdon and War" from 1969 to 1975.
