Charles9204 Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 No band wrote this "traditional" blues song. It originated in Creole country, author unknown. The most famous recorded version is by The Animals, summer of '64. Went to No. 1. Frigid Pink a midwestern band did a take on it in the late sixties.

_Jayson_ Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I heard something like "The House of the Rising Sun", except it was called something like "In New Orleans", It was by a blues guy/group named Leadbelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
