While Van Ronk didn’t chase fame, he influenced the sound of everyone who did, including Dylan.
Dylan never hid his admiration, noting in Chronicles Vol. 1, “He was passionate and stinging, sang like a soldier of fortune and sounded like he paid a high price. [He] could howl and whisper, turn blues into ballads and ballads into blues. He was what [Greenwich Village] was all about.”
He admitted as much, “I’d heard Van Ronk back in the Midwest on records and thought he was pretty great, copied some of his recordings phrase for phrase.”
Most people today know “House of the Rising Sun” through The Animals’ 1964 version, but the song has much older roots.
Dylan included the song on his 1962 debut album Bob Dylan. But, as shown in Martin Scorsese’s 2005 documentaryNo Direction Home, the arrangement Dylan used wasn’t his own — he used Van Ronk’s version.
Van Ronk later said the most irritating part was that people started accusing him of stealing from Dylan. “That was very, very annoying,” Van Ronk admitted.
And then history looped again. Once The Animals recorded their iconic rock version (built off Dylan’s take, which was built off Van Rock’s) Dylan stopped performing the song because audiences began accusing him of copying The Animals.
