Story time....
I buy a Lead Belly CD at Borders, get home finally get it out of that tape job ya know the one and put it in the player. after a few songs I hear......there is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun.....huh? I knew the guy had died in 1949 so how can he be....??? I like everyone else I thought that was a Animals tune with Eric Burton a 60's thing. Well it isn't as I would find out, actually it's an old Appalachian tune first recorded by legendary old timey music legend Clarence Ashley (also gave us Little Sadie) in 1933, well I'll be damn, and here it is....
