There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh God, I'm a-one

    The Animals can lick Dylan's shoes [4] as far as this tune goes. There's just something immaculate about his voice on this track...it's so aggressively wistful and absolutely devastating, in the most staggeringly brilliant way possible. And yeah, naysayers, I prefer Dylan to The Animals hands down, but the reason I prefer (understatement) this version to theirs or any other is because, imo, it's just straight up fucking better.

    This is OK: one of Bob's better covers. As oldiesfanjohn points out, the Animals cover sung by Eric Burdon is the standard by which all versions of this song must be judged. Guthrie, Dylan, Baez, Simone etc - all have had a go, but none of them comes close to Burdon on this.

    I doubt I've ever heard anyone sing with this much feeling. People can say what they want about Bob Dylan's singing, but I think this is as good as it gets. [2]
