Leadbelly - House of the Rising Sun download song

Leadbelly used to live a block down from my house. He is buried about 2 miles from where I sit typing this comment.

I wish they had a date for this.

Imagine if Leadbelly and Hank Williams collaborated together.... fuck

So i take it this is Leadbellys wife ? Shit man pass the joint.

All I see in this comment section is a sea of ignorance and dumbasses who think that playing the notes right is mastering guitar. Depresses me how such an amazing song from a time where it was a privilege to listen to this stuff has been forgotten and then warped, corrupted by naive people who don’t get the historical context and has the most recent versions of this so g trace back to him, and mark that as point a to point b. There is no point a or point b you just live in the time where a relevant artist with more music know-how than you covered this song. There is no origin.

Where is this audio from?

The Animals did a better version. .

This guy is a legend... Story says he is composing a new song.
