Gregory Isaacs: House of the Rising Sun

[SummerMorning]

I just heard this 1992 reggae version of the Animals' House of the Rising Sun (1966). Damn. Hot damn.

When I heard it I just jumped to the hi fi, reset the song, turned up the volume and then stole the cd from my girl... Fortunately, the cd has now become part of my mushrooming safety copy collection... couldn't risk anything happening to the poor little disc.

...anything like that ever happen to you folx?

Oh only twice a day...

 

[SummerMorning]

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

...

the reggae version sent chills up my spine...
