Made solely from the 45s that they took on tour, HEAVYWEIGHT CARRY-ON is 70 minutes of Funk, R&B, Latin, Hip-Hop, Dancehall & Reggae 7" records - an all vinyl mix. The added restriction with wax-only gigs is that you can play only what you can carry into the gig, and traveling tightens those limitations even more. It's whatever you can fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you, because no one puts their copy of Bobby Franklin's Insanity in checked luggage, right?.

One day when listening to "Slippin' Into Darkness" by War, I noticed that a riff late in the song was very similar to Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up". Sometimes these things just happen. After doing a bit of searching, I found out that Bob's tune was actually directly influenced by it. (http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=7608)

Coincidentally, shortly after putting two and two together, I played a show with War's harmonica man Lee Oskar at the memorial for our friend Bad News Brown in Montreal. I asked Lee about the similarities between the two songs and he confirmed that Marley wrote the song based on "Slippin...". They were on some tours together in the early 70s in Europe and the United States ["we played some soccer in between shows(!)"] during the spark of War's popularity and Bob was a big fan of theirs, so he expanded on their riff to create one of his most recognizable tunes.

Summertime music! Enjoy.
