Can you believe that I've never listened to Joan Baez' version of "House of the rising sun" ?

I'm blown away. Her voice is so pure that it makes me want to rejoice and weep simultaneously. If you've never heard it then it's worth a listen.

My mum was a huge fan so this was the first version of the song I heard around the house growing up, so it always seems like the original to me. I've heard so many versions of it now, because I love the song, even Frijid Pink's psychedelic version.

@GlassDog Thanks for your reply. I grew up thinking the Animals version was the original.
