The History of The House of the Rising Sun

I start my new feature here at the Pixel Classroom Podcast with the history of the song: The House of the Rising Sun (1964) by The Animals. Thisisn’t the story of some songwriter cranking out a hit. The House of the RisingSun is anonymous, timeless. Scholars trace its bones to broadside ballads—folkpoetry sold cheaply in old England—and there’s even a faint resemblance to the16th-century lament, ‘The Unfortunate Rake.’
