Thread Name: Which Genre is it? (House of the Rising Sun)
Subject: RE: Which Genre is it?

The web site where Mrs Pavane's version is available asks for Genre.
But I think from the Origins thread here, it is Blues, in fact an early version was called Rising Sun Blues!

Earliest actual reference seems to be a recording in 1928.
