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.
