Frank Sinatra - House Of The Rising Sun

I heard that one time on a program entitled, "Songs Sinatra released that he wished he could get back."

It was awful.

can`t find sinatra`s version anywhere...here`s a link to over 250 cover versions of " house of the rising sun "......

bachman turner overdrive do a great version on their 1996 album " trial by fire "

"While the album is dominated by older tracks, the new ones are top-notch and deserve special mention - including possibly the best recording of "House of the Rising Sun."

Kiwi, I wish I had the BTO album but I don't.....yet anyway. I also don't have the david hasselhoff album either...thankfully. Did you buy the BTO album? Did you buy the david hasselhoff album? Don't answer that second question if you did because I will never let you hear the end of it. :lol:

CA, I tried about 15 seconds of each of the three songs before I deleted them. I don't suppose they got better as they went along? :)

Mariah Carey's version of "Bringin' on the Heartbreak" from Def Leppard.  thumbsdown

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT ONE!! She butchered that song.....thats one of my favs from Def Leppard.

I'm not too crazy about Sherly Crows (I think it's her) version of "The First Cut is the Deepest" by Rod Stewart....

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
