House of the Rising Sun – The Animals



House of the Rising Sun is a real oldie but a goodie.  A great track by the Animals in 1964.  The producer says the recording was made in 2 takes over 15 minutes!  Puts today’s over-produced music into context.  The single said it was 2 minutes 68 seconds long! 

Another great British group whose heyday was in the 60’s.  One of the other big hits was “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” – another great number.  The group’s name came from how wildly they behaved on stage.  Sadly they were the victims of bad management and made very little money for the long term.
