Eric Burdon conveniently forgot to mention that the Animals version was obviously lifted from the Bob Dylan version. Otherwise an excellent programme, with lots of historical stuff. I wish they'd played the Clarence Ashley version which was talked about. Some beautiful snippets played - like A.L.Lloyd's Unfortunate Rake, and the gorgeous 1937 version of Rising Sun Blues by the 16 year old lass whose name I've forgotten.
