Most people have heard Eric Burdon and the Animals' great hit record from 1964, The House of the Rising Sun. It's a song that's been around since, at least, the 1930s and has been recorded numerous times. In fact, one website (this is one I can't help you find) has 262 different versions, ranging from great to good to pretty indifferent. Here are questions about just ten of those versions. I'll describe the players and you tell me their name or names. Top: The Animals' first album had a heavy blues influence and featured The House of the Rising Sun along with other gems like, I'm Mad Again and Going to Take You Back to Walker. Was it really released so long ago in 1964? Good luck to all!
