The reactions more than the songs

Same song four times, all liked it, even loved it, quite different reactions though in various ways.

First girl said, about the 60s, probably meant earlier too, that they had such depth, such passion in the voice compared to autotuned today - interesting coming from her. She's not anglo, is responsive, passionate, really lives it. Entertaining gal.

Fourth girl ... sadly, there's something wrong with her, a real product of today, what's been done to kids, just lacks ... something ... can't identify it. She likes 60s but the schlock fashion part.

Third man, the black guy - reacted as I thought he might.  Blacks got soul, man, they're going to see it in an instant.  Respect, mun.

Second lady nice reaction - ran it earlier as a video, changing it now for another black reaction.

The song - it's where I'd argue the point with our classical and jazz chaps.  


There's a time for purity of note, of sound, but there's also a time for rough edged and I'd hold that it stands up, musically, in the hands of a real band, just as well as any ensemble.  Eric Burdon and Alan Price were something else again:

  1. The Animals dramatic version of this was probably one of the first well-known real folk-rock releases. The song being very old and having multiple versions from now mostly forgotten US singers but even Dylan covered it in a very traditional way. Personally, as a folk rock enthusiast growing up in the psychedelic era, although not a particular fan of the band I rather like this arrangement which was even more folk-rock in my opinion. https://youtu.be/t40INnb6DnY
