Book description
AAnthony traces the song House of the Rising Sun to and from its historical, geographical, cultural, and musical roots in this entertaining tale.Anthony started his search, in New Orleans before finding that this song, about a womans (or mans) life ruined in a whorehouse (or prison or roadhouse or gambling den) in New Orleans (or Lowestoft, England or Baxter Springs, Kansas or yondos town or the strip club out on Old 87) is really about an outsiders warning to those who might hop a train and end up down and out in the Rising Sun.Anthony might have traced the ultimate roots of the story back to the prodigal son of the Bible, but does find the first recorded versions arising out of The Village, his name for the culturally-consistent and distinct intersection of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia in the Appalachian mountains. Folk musicologist Alan Lomax recorded Georgia Turner, a 16-year-old miners daughter in Middlesboro, Kentucky singing the song in 1937. Anthony unearths other obscure versions (Clarence Ashley from Tennessee recorded in 1933, Homer and Walter Callahan from North Carolina, recorded in 1934) that bubbled up around the same time and place, suggesting common folk sources. While Ashley references family history tracing the song back to the turn of the century or beyond, Anthony never comes up with a genesis document.But the journey takes him all over the US and even to China and Thailand during career-driven stays in those far flung outposts of Appalachian roots music. But more interesting than the places are the people Anthony meets and introduces to us during the journey. He is able to interview some of those there at the beginning in The Village in the 1930s, a first-hand resource fast disappearing as age and hard times and hard living claim that generation. Sadly, Georgia Turner died young in 1969, but her voice on Lomaxs Library of Congress recordings and in the voice of seven of her surviving children sharing laughter, tears, and songs around the tape player replaying that old song that now reverberates through the popular culture.Anthony has traced down over 200 different recorded versions of the song that came from those roots, and spread around the world. Most famous, of course, is The Animals seminal version from 1964, that defined the song for the Baby Boomer generation that dominated and defined (then and now) the popular culture. His descriptions and list of superlatives (oddest, most danceable, and so on) from his collection are enough to make the reader perhaps wish for a CD set of selected versions from his collection. The only thing that keeps this book from a five-star rating is Anthonys occasional tendency to overwrite his emotion. While his sincerity comes through the writing, one suspects he is unsure of both his ability to deal with the book form (as a career journalist) and with the strength of his material. When he relaxes and lets the places, people, and music speak through his abilities, this is a five-star book.
