Thread Name: the choices of chords in folk music
Subject: RE: the choices of chords in folk music
"One is Dave Van Ronk's "House of the Rising Sun," for which he famously gets little credit except from the few insiders aware of the story: Dave comes up with a highly original and very dramatic chordal setting for this old tune, and Bob Dylan promptly "steals" it to record on his first album before Dave has a chance to put it on record."

Sorry, I go with Josh White.
