Kelly Clarkson performed a live cover version of "Up To The Mountain (MLK Song)" with Jeff Beck on the "Idol Gives Back" special edition of American Idol on April 25, 2007. Griffin is regarded as one of Clarkson's musical inspirations and Clarkson also covered "No Bad News" during the Nashville concert on her My December Tour. Bonus track "Moon Song" was covered by Griffin's close friend Emmylou Harris on her 2008 album All I Intended to Be.
