The Weight" takes the folk music motif of a traveler, who arrives in Nazareth in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. Once there, he encounters various residents of the town, the song being a story of these encounters. The residents include a man who cannot direct the traveler to a hotel, Carmen and the Devil walking side by side, "Crazy Chester," who offers a bed in exchange for the traveler taking his dog, and Luke who has gone out to wait for the apocalypse, leaving his young bride neglected

Jul 4, 2008 - wow you sounded just like Dylan sounded in 1976 I am thrilled with this one as it's brilliant. As you know I dislike that echo thing that you use but apart from that this is CD sellable rendition mate. It's defo your style this and you do it very well. I really am thrilled with it and am off to play it a few more times.
