5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, December 9, 1999

This review is from: House of the Rising Sun (Audio CD)

Some of the earliest memories I have are of hanging out in my family's living room listening to this album loud enough to wake the neighbors (my parents were party animals even then!). Then I had a radio show in college a couple of years ago, and so I dusted off my parents' old LP of this album and played it one night. The response was immediate and enthusiastic--"we want more!" So, "House of the Rising Sun" became the disco anthem of the 1990's for a small, sleepy southern college town, a phenomenon which is proof that great music really does stand the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST version of this song., February 7, 2002

The Santa Esmeralda versions of The House of the Rising Sun and Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood are the reason those are two of my favorite songs. SE is representative of what was great about disco. This is definitely a club classic.

I borrowed this album 19 years ago from my sister and never returned it!! She found the CD on Amazon and sent it to me. Listened to it after not hearing it for several years and fell in love with it again! The greatest version of The House of the Rising Sun you will ever hear. Enjoy!
