House of the Rising sun (1933 Original) By Tom Clarence Ashley Gwen Foster
P
Public Domain Films and Songs
Widely known and covered American traditional song of disputed origins initially recorded by Clarence Ashley & Gwin Foster in 1933 as "Rising Sun Blues". The song most always opens with some variation of "There is a house in New Orleans they call the Rising Sun..." Throughout the years it's been arranged by multiple artists, and since it's in the public domain has been registered by scores of performers as their own work, but so many of the versions have floating lyrics and musical components it wouldn't be well-served to selectively credit adaptations of the same name. The song is most famously known by The Animals' 1964 recording, which is now the standard

Tin Roof Blues 1923 - New Orleans Rhythm Kings
Tin Roof Blues" is a jazz composition by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings first recorded in 1923. It was written by band members Paul Mares, Ben Pollack, Mel Stitzel, George Brunies and Leon Roppolo. The tune has become a jazz standard and is one of the most recorded and often played New Orleans jazz compositions
The New Orleans Rhythm Kings first recorded the number on 13 March 1923 for Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana. The B-side was "That's a Plenty". There are three surviving alternative takes of the number from this session. The alternative takes were created as part of the phonograph recording and manufacture process; the musicians did not expect different versions to be released. The solos on the records contained less improvisation than much of later jazz and more than earlier jazz. Brunies's and Roppolo's solos were played similar but noticeably different on each of the three takes. Brunies continued to play the solo from the most famous take of the NORK recording for the rest of his career.
The 1923 sound recordings of the song entered the public domain in the United States in 2024
