Subject: RE: Origin or title of House of the Rising Sun?
As posted last November, the book by Anthony added nothing to the story.
There were several recordings of the song before Lomax and Turner, 1937, as noted in previous threads.

1928- Texas Alexander
1931(?)- Clarence Ashley
1935- Homer Callahan (as "Rounder's Luck")
