Subject: RE: Which Genre is it? (House of the Rising Sun)
Dear Pavane,
Without getting once again into the definition-type discussions earlier in this thread...!
I like Dawne's version. She has a very fine voice. Stylistically it doesn't seem too far from the classic Animals' version which perhaps many people might describe as modern blues or even blues-rock.
I'll send you Patricia's and my version which is very different (more "jazz-blues" perhaps by usual definitions) once I've converted it to mp3 (I have an acoustic version with reso guitar and a full band version recorded in rehearsal) to see what you think.
Peace and all the best
moo
(P.S. and we've discussed barge/longboat living which I fancy once before...do you live on that boat?)
(P.P.S. Do you know whether that chap who bought my melodeon ever got on with it...?)
