The House of the Rising sun...so many versions.

[Dugout]

I listened to all of them before I hunted down my record. And I liked Shawn Mullins and Sinead O'Connor.

Frijid Pink... That does jar some memories. One hit wonders I believe and by far the best recording of House Of The Rising Sun. []

So, they don't know the origins of the song? Interesting.

Hey Steve,

Thanks for this lot. I gotta add Nina Simone's version dates to 1962, and The Ventures from 1966.
