Kimbabig Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I always thought this rendition was by the Animals, but I guess I'm wrong. Maybe Jim had a cold when he sang this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ1oZVGmTr0&NR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 The Echoplex will sound very " lame " in today's world as we have great delay and echo pedals....At the time it cutting edge.... There are even plugins now that duplicate the Echoplex better than an actual Echoplex............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 My hair is in this one, I was leaning down so it looks weird, as for the guitar,no one has an effing clue what it is. got it on the bay for a good price. $150. Tuned open A and is now set up for slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paging Page Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Summer's not over ....... Kimbabig just can't quite leave YES the Animals made that version popular, NO they did NOT write it. it is a public domain folk song written somewhere circa 1900-ish... I can't recall off hand if the writer is Anon or known. Bob Dylan covered it way before the Animals. Some musician's can't stand the Animals' version because they shifted it to 6/8 and changed up a few chords, but that's what's called "making it your own." This is my cover done w/some friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDCtu3OUkOY (shameless promo - lol) Pretty pics, Kimba :) L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, kimbabig is correct, that rendition was the animals but they didn't write it and it was written long before 1964. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 I came on here because I'm getting writer's block, and I'm bored, and I thought you'd all like an update from what I've been doing, and what fuzz pedal I'm going to buy soon. and the reason I tuned my guitar to open A and set it up for slide. and how well I'm doing at the Keys. [crying] P.s I'm just kidding, I'm not upset at all, except for the writer's block. Das, my story is going slow, but it's progressing, just trying to figure out the plot!

ne14t? Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Sorry I meant recorded. The author is unknown, there is a lot of speculation of the songs original origin. Some believe its a broadside ballad from the 18th century brought to America by the settlers, and Alan Price of The Animals claimed the song was originally a 16th century English folk song about a Soho brothel and when it was taken to America the song was later adapted to its New Orleans setting. The oldest know recording of the song dates back to 1933 when Appalachian artists Clarence Ashley and Gwen Foster recorded a version. Bob Dylan released his version in March of 1962 The Animals released there version in June of 1964 So it wasnt that far apart in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ne14t? Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Didn't Leadbelly do a version even earlier? He did two actually but not earlier then the original recorded version, Leadbelly recorded one in February 1944 titled "In New Orleans" and one in October 1948 titled "The House of the Rising Sun" the latter was recorded in the sessions that later became the album "Lead Belly's Last Sessions" Alger Alexander's "The Rising Sun" which was recorded in 1928 is sometimes mentioned as the first recording, but its actually a completely different song. Edit: BTW the 1944 Leadbelly version is my personal fave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbCJtxEFlSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paging Page Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Nirvana LOVED Leadbelly :) I LOVE Nirvana's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" and, it was about the last song Kurt Cobain ever recorded. :( And I *think* (correct me) last publicly performed song. He died just months after the NYC MTV Unplugged concert, and this song closed the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hGBYey28CQ sigh............................................

damian Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 this song is also called "In The Pines" and is also........... really REALLY old. With who knows how many verse variations. The ORIGINAL version of the song was written in ancient Egypt..... The first line was " There is, a pyramid, in old Memphis, " The song title was " House of the Rising Ra "...............Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
