War - Why Can't We Be Friends

The Animals - House Of The Rising Sun -1964

This is a traditional American folk song first made popular by the British rock group The Animals (featuring Eric Burden subsequently of War). Many considered it to be the first folk rock hit. Shortly thereafter came the Byrds, Robert Zimmerman, ... and, well, rock and roll.

Didn't The Animals take Dylan's arrangement, which he had in fact "borrowed" from Dave van Ronk? They electrified it, sure, but crediting the Animals with Dylan's success seems... odd.

There's a terrific cover of this song by a band called Frijid Pink, I think it's one of the better versions out there.

Give this article a read and see what you think. I don't agree or disagree with you but I do believe it when they say this song's been around since the 1930s and there's a quote in there about when Dylan first heard it, being sung by Burden, and his impression: When Bob Dylan first heard The Animals' electric arrangement, he is said (by his first biographer, Anthony Scaduto) to have exclaimed: "House of the Rising Sun in [is] rock. Rock! It's f---in' wild! Blew my mind".

Dylan then went electric, much to the chagrin and hostility of purists in the folk scene, but much to the eternal gratitude and joy of the rest of us. The Animals' hit had an ironic consequence: it exported American blues from England to white audiences in the northern states of the US; audiences who had previously been denied access to the "race music" of the south.

Rock & roll is this delicious meaty stew with carrots and potatoes and onions, gospel, blues, swing, country, western, folk, jazz, rap, hip-hip, American, British, (and many others) on-and-on, and ever so often somebody adds something extra or leaves something out and it changes a little. Lotta musicians aren't content with beef stew, and they spend (out of necessity?) lot o' time looking for that missing ingredient.

Fair enough, but in No Direction Home, Van Ronk's interview is the source for my dissembling. I have no doubt that he was as shocked by the Animals' electric version as he was by the Byrds' cover of Mr. Tambourine man.
The reason for Dylan's electric conversion was manyfold, I believe, and included both the Animals and the Byrds, as well as the Beatles.

[Bill]

No no no HERE'S the definitive version (seriously). Want me on of them suits.

[Bill]

Ok I have a stupid question. When a lot of British, Scottish, Irish, Aussies, musicians/singers sing, they don't sing with what sounds like their native accent to the (my) American ear. They sound mostly like Americans when they sing (with exceptions of course). Can anybody explain that to me, please? Hope I don't offend anyone. Just curious. Compare these two clips of Adele:

I know that the Beatles deliberately sang with American accents, both because they thought it would work better with their music and for commercial concerns, i.e. cracking the American market. I think the latter may have been the larger concern for acts that followed. What's funny, though, is that some American punk acts, esp. the Ramones, adopted British (or at least Brit-ish) accents. Not as successfully, charts-wise, nor as widespread.

Llibrro by far Overkill and Ace of Spades are the two best Motorhead albums. I live Lemmy and Motorhead but they were at their best in the 70s and early 80s.
