"The House of the Rising Sun" is an American traditional folk song. It's earlier version was called "Rising Sun Blues", which was in major key and 3/4 time signature. The song was first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s, but probably has its roots in traditional English folk song. 
The most successful commercial version, recorded in 1964 by the English rock band The Animals, was in minor key and 12/8 with a bit different lyrics and melody. 
In our version the lyrics are mostly from the earlier versions, but in minor 12/8 and melody as in Animal's version. Olavi Lähteinen sings and I play the guitars. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
Laulu on alkujaan kansanlaulu USA:sta, mutta lienee kulkeutunut Englannista. Sen aikaisempi versio nimeltään "Rising Sun Blues" on  duurissa ja 3/4-tahtilajissa.
Suurimman hitin tästä sai englantilainen The Animals vuonna 1964. Heidän versionsa on mollissa ja 12/8-tahtilajissa sekä sanoitukseltaan ja melodialtaan erilainen.
Versiomme noudattaa pääasiassa varhaisempien sanoitusta, mutta muutoin Animalsien versiota. Olavi Lähteinen laulaa ja itse soitan kitaroita. Tuotin tämän kotonani Band in a Boxilla ja Reaperilla.

Then: The Earlier Years

This Way to the EGRESS cascades onto the stage in a breathtaking explosion of sound and color that’s equal parts unruly vaudeville, ebullient world beat band and three ring circus. The six-person troupe plays a swooning, crooning, swinging amalgamation of styles that catapults the audience through time and space with unexpected shifts of styles, costumes and time signatures. Confetti snowstorms, tuba farts, Balinese chanting, fire wielding evangelists,  and puppets sweep across the stage creating a jubilant, anything goes atmosphere, anchored by the band’s superlative songwriting skills and sterling musicianship. Accordion, violin and tuba aren’t instruments you usually find fronting a rock band, but This Way to the EGRESS uses them to give the music unexpected textures, while retaining a propulsive beat and generating enough energy to light up a small city.

“We always have a hard time figuring out what genre we fit into,” says Taylor Galassi, the accordion wielding bon vivant who founded EGRESS, with the help of his partner, piano plunker, fiddler and leading lady Sarah Shown. “We’re surfing on a hard-hitting wave of many colors. Gypsy, punk, ska, ragtime, Klezmer, blues and Balkan beats all wrapped up into one crazy foot stomping good time. We let the music take us where it will, regardless of genres and geography.”
