Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood was originally recorded by Nina Simone in 1964, but it’s arguably best known as one of The Animals’ signature tunes. The Eric Burdon-fronted act turned the song from a slow-burn jazz number into one of the seminal garage-rock tunes of the early 1960′s, with the help of some vamping organ and Burdon’s signature baritone growl. Now almost fifty years later Burdon, who released a new solo album earlier this year, has teamed up with HT fave Jenny Lewis to re-recorded one of his signature tunes for the latest edition of the soundtrack for the HBO show True Blood.
