Joan Baez ~ House Of The Rising Sun

[Lukas-khgu]

holy fucking shit. watch this with high end headphones... those high notes she is hitting are literally making my eyes water. I am not over-exaggerating. goosebumps all over.

I know the Animals version is probably the best known, but the beauty of this song is its unknown origins. Folk music is literally the music of the people, I think that's why every voice brings something different. There's just something about Joan's voice though. It cuts to the core.

0:15There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Risin' Sun
0:32And it's been the ruin of many poor girl And me, oh, God, for one
0:53If I had listened to what my mother said I'd have been at home today
1:10But I was young and foolish, oh, God
Let a rambler lead me astray

1:30Go, tell my baby sister "Don't do what I have done
1:47But shun that house in New Orleans
1:56They call the Risin' Sun"

2:09I'm goin' back to New Orleans My race is almost run
2:24I'm goin' back to spend my life Beneath that Risin' Sun

What extraordinary vocal dynamics Mme Joan Baez ! Fell in love with her voice through the sound of LP's in the late 70's, and still admire that pitch, those trembling high notes...Out of this world. One of the finest musicians I've ever heard. Heavenly.

The voice of Joan give me chills ! Great version of this song, perhaps the best ever !

[bobharrison]

Magic song. Magic lady, from a generation past, but the generations to come will be in awe.

[mireyaperez]

She was one of the most principled singers during the Vietnam War. Beautiful voice. I lived her time and always loved her

[KOMET]

I was lucky enough to see JOAN BAEZ sing this song in concert live at The Warner Theater last September 28th (2018). She was INCREDIBLE.

Joan Baez - Ihre tolle Stimme zu hören ist immer ein Genuss für Ohren und Herz.

[xinixxagnix]

This is never coming back, one of the greatest female singers of all time @Joan & Janis.

[karenimmelman]

This lady has the voice that many can just dream about Great listening
natural, clear perfection

[maxberdy]

Il est toujours agréable de retrouver la très belle voix de soprano de Joan Baez dans sa meilleure époque.

[TheMrrob]

[itgcryq]

우수에 잠긴듯한 애절한 목소리, 가슴 깊은 곳에서 나오는 진실이 담긴 노래가 마음을 움직이네요.

[gentleblasphemy]

Her voice constantly gives me goosebumps!!! Best version! Hands down😩❤️

[Colombo]

Every song has god or goddess to sing it to perfection. Joan Baez in this song proves it to me personally!

[shibolinemress]

I was expecting the same lyrics as The famous Animals rendition. First time hearing this very different text. What an amazing voice, so lovely and haunting!

[gabrielwot]

There is no word to describe how beautiful and powerful is her voice.

[sweetpepino]

I love the animals version the best personally but man, this one cuts like glass right to the heart. Her voice is chilling.

[russellharden]

I had forgotten just how good she was on this timeless song.. wow.
