• The album's hit single, "Hurt," was famously covered by country legend Johnny Cash in 2002. Cash's version, accompanied by a poignant music video, earned widespread acclaim and introduced the song to a new generation of fans.
• The album's enduring legacy was celebrated for its 30th anniversary in 2024.
