Sons Of Anarchy: 10 Best Forest Rangers Songs
6. House Of The Rising Sun - The White Buffalo & The Forest Rangers
Incredible vocal performance - check. Amazing music to accompany the vocals - check. Perfect placement at the end of a Sons of Anarchy season - check. Altered lyrics to fit the show - double check.
The song of things gone wrong in New Orleans is transformed into a song about things gone wrong in Charming Town, and what a transformation. There were 2 versions of this song recorded and used during the show, one by Battleme & The Forest Rangers, and this one by The White Buffalo & The Forest Rangers, and I think you'll agree that The White Buffalo's version is the superior. Take nothing away from Battleme, but the slowed down pace of The White Buffalo track just leaves me in awe.
A cautionary tale warning of what can happen in the most ironically named city in The United States of America, Charming, the song is as said before is perfectly placed at the end of Season 4, when we finally see Jax become President of the Sons of Anarchy, although we know, this was a fate he didn't want at that time. He was supposed to leave Charming, get away from the Sons and save his sons from ever being exposed to that life. That was not to be.
Perhaps Charming is just a poisoned little town in California, and once it has a hold of you it will never let go.
