What to know about “House of the Rising Sun”
“House of the Rising Sun” is a traditional folk song, often called “Rising Sun Blues.” Its exact origin remains a mystery, but it tells a somber tale of a life gone wrong in New Orleans, often interpreted as a brothel, prison, or gambling den.
While countless artists have performed it, The Animals’ iconic 1964 rock rendition transformed the ballad into a global hit with its powerful vocals and distinctive organ melody. This version, which shifted the narrative to a male perspective, also became a pivotal moment in the development of folk-rock.
