In 1995, her song "Our Town" was played in the closing moments of the last episode for the CBS TV series Northern Exposure. It has also been recorded by Kate Rusby and by Jody Stecher and Kate Brislin.
The Transatlantic Sessions version of "Let the Mystery Be" became the theme song for the second season and series finale of The Leftovers.
