Welcome to Thursday, stashers! We have a classic reggae tune from a legendary Jamaican rasta man, CARLTON LIVINGSTON. Attending school in Trenchtown, Jamacia in the sixties, Carlton honed his chops with none other than the great Bob Marley, the godfather of ganja reggae. Carlton and a schoolmate would sneak away from school to listen and sing with a yet to be discovered Bob Marley and the Wailers. Recording music throughout the 70’s and 80’s Carlton gained a faithful following of reggae fans. His longevity in the business has finally landed Carlton the title of one of the top songwriters of Jamaica. Today’s track, “100lb Collie Weed” came from a 1992 recording session on Long Island, NY after he had moved to the US.
