The Never Ending Pool

The Dylan Newport story is a bit, well, strange, whether on Elliott's part of Bream's part. Dylan's version of "House of the Rising Sun," came from Dave Van Ronk, not Jack Elliott. Elliott's own version of the song came from Woody Guthrie and is played with major chords, not minor ones and the melody as a result is slightly different, though obviously the same song. Also the one album Elliott recorded the song on, "Jack Elliott" on Vanguard, if it was even out yet, assuming this was the summer of 1964 when the song was a hit may not have been released yet.
