Five Decades Of Influences. [ Box set front ] [ Box set back ] [ Melting Pot CD cover ]. 2013 Wal-Mart box set from Garth Brooks, containing four CDs with cover versions, a two-disc best of set and two DVDs. A version of The Band's The Weight is included as track 7 on the CD titled Melting Pot.Review from the AllMusic Guide : From the box set booklet: Garth Brooks-Blame It All On My Roots - 2013 - Perl.he Weight (written by Robbie Robertson): I first heard 'The Weight' when I played with the Skinner Brothers. They did such a great job with this song; it was a mainstay in their set list. The three brothers, Tom, Mike and Craig, sang those 'family harmonies' that can only be found in the same bloodline.
The originator was rock singer Leon Russell who wrote and released the song in 1970; but my favorite version and perhaps one of the most popular versions is Donny Hathawâ¦ays's 1971 cover of the song.
