  • "The House of the Rising Sun" is a traditional folk song, telling of a life gone wrong in New Orleans. The most successful version, recorded in 1964 by the English rock group The Animals, was a number one hit. I have played and sung this tune for over 50 years, and today seemed like a good day to just play it again.....bluesy, raw and low-down and dirty. Both of the cats liked it, and suggested that I put it here on RUclips again, after 5 years since the last version. I do dig the blues.....and the Animals sure did it right. However, as Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong once said "If you have to ask what the Blues are, you ain't never had 'em!" Boy, that's the whole truth right there. "Life is Good", here, where music lives, on 8/27/2021, in Tune Town, with my bluesy Hammond Organ, and lots of Love, baby. Thanks for listening, and Happy Weekend. 🌴🌴🎹😎

    It's over six minutes long, but it sure doesn't seem like it's that long. A testament to how well played it is!

    Nice ! Never thought to play it in G minor instead of A. I could never sing it right. The Animals did it in A and I've payed it that way all my life but I'm only 67 and I can Change; Thanks Mike!

    Wonderful performance of this very known song. In France we have the version of Johnny Hallyday. The original is played on a vox organ but your improvisation on Hammond is original. I have played this song on my channel but I play just the score and I dont improvise!
