Joan Baez recorded "House of the Rising Sun" for her self-titled debut album, "Joan Baez," which was released in 1960. The album played a significant role in establishing her as a prominent figure in the folk music revival of the time. Joan Baez's version of the song is characterized by her clear and emotive vocals, accompanied primarily by her acoustic guitar. The arrangement is stripped-down and simple, allowing the focus to remain on the haunting lyrics and Baez's vocal delivery. While Baez's version of the song may not be as widely recognized as The Animals' iconic rock rendition, her interpretation remains an important part of the song's history within the folk music tradition.
