Baja Sessions is the sixth studio
album by
Chris Isaak, released in 1996, featuring largely
acoustic arrangements. The album contains a large number of
covers, many of which are classic songs (such as the Hawaiian-tinged "
Sweet Leilani" and "
South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)") which refer to, or are styled to suggest, tropical, laid-back settings. Though its title refers to
Baja California, the album was recorded at
San Francisco's Coast Recorders.
A 58-minute documentary was released featuring Isaak performing the songs as well as making amusing asides, surfing and generally mucking around.
