There is a very nice cover version of this song on Chris Isaak's CD: THE BAJA SESSIONS, Reprise 1996.

In fact, that entire album is really worth having. He mixes originals with old popular tunes and plays them all in a easy, breezy guitar style that really does evoke a sunny day on a Baja beach. In addition to the original songs, he covers:

Yellow Bird
Sweet Leilani
Only The Lonely
South of The Border (down Mexico Way)


My husband, who never really liked Chris Isaak all that much, kept borrowing this CD from me and playing it in the car. He has to drive a lot during the day in Los Angeles traffic and he said he found this CD very calming. We are constantly stealing it back and forth from eachother.

I highly recommned this CD to anyone looking for a nice contemporary version of 'Yellow Bird'
