Josh White - House Of The Rising Sun free for downloading

Never have I heard such a chilling voice. It's so ethereal that I can clearly picture his ghost sitting on the dusty floor of the now-deserted House of the rising sun, singing us his story. The sound of that old recording adds so much atmosphere too.

Josh White, Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Ramblin' Jack... There (Am) is a (C) house in (E) New Or(Am)leans They call the (C) Rising (E) Sun (E7) And it's (Am) been the (C) ruin of (E) many a poor (Am) girl And (Am) me, oh (E) God, I'm (Am) one. (E7)

Love this version!

One of the better performances on this tune ! Thanks

Can't thank you enough for uploading.

Although I like the version "The Animals" did, this much older version is done in a strictly waltz tempo/emphasis & I like it at least as much.

The first time this song was performed in a minor key

probably the best version of this old song

a very nice song I haven`t heard until now this version until now

There WAS a house in New Orleans...

Woh how good is this i know this song but never heard of him.great super.

Best version of this old song.

pure blues.. a state of mind

a master's class of pain, soul and artistry
