The Whining Stranger's Song of the Day

15 June 2006



"The Weight" by The Band (from the album Music from Big Pink, 1968)

Another great road trip song, this one (re)discovered on a mixed CD made long ago while we inched along toward my aunt's yesterday. A good journey narrative in the lyrics and a fun sing-a-long chorus. If only the dog had been more co-operative, we could have pulled off the three-party harmony central to the refrain.
