Joan Baez是美国60年代著名的原创民谣歌手与人道主义者，是美国民歌复兴运动的重要人物，曾任国际人权委员会主席。她的演唱质朴纯真，歌声甜美而富有感染力，有“现代民谣的公主”之称，与民谣摇滚大师Bob Dylan齐名。

这首美国民歌《House of the Rising Sun》曾被许多人翻唱，包括摇滚版。Joan Baez的这个Live版本充分体现了她的艺术感染力，只凭手中一把木吉他加上简单的乐队配器，竟然可以把这首歌唱得如此惊心动魄、震撼人心，不愧是民谣大师！

歌词如下：

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
It has been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, oh, God, I'm one

If I had listened to what my mother said,
I`d have been at home today,
But i was young and foulish, oh, God
Let a rambler lead me astray

Go tell my babysisters
Don't do what i have done
To shun that house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun

And going back to new orleans
My race is almost run
I'm going back to spend my life
Beneath the rising sun
