Bright Lights, Big City by the Animals (1965)


Growing up in the 80's, classic rock radio made me aware of two Animals' songs. House of the Rising Sun was the biggest one. That song was a masterpiece, but it got so overplayed. The other song was We Gotta Get Out of This Place. I never liked this song, probably because I was previously underwhelmed by hearing David Johansen's version.

Years later, I started to listen to more of the Animals' work. I love their garage sound in the early days. Here is a version of Jimmy Reed's Bright Lights, Big City. There is just something that makes me smile when the keys kick in during the chorus.
