Up To The Mountain: MLK Tribute

To mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King this is an updated version of, “Up To The Mountain,” a song I recorded last year with some of my LA musician friends. Written by Patty Griffin, the lyrics were inspired by the life of Dr. King. I asked Michiko Hill to write a classical intro which she plays here, and then Hadley Hockensmith’s guitar transitions the tune back to its gospel blues roots. Charlean Carmon’s vocals are the final inspirational ingredient that brings the message of the song to life.
