"Baja Sessions" is a 1996 album by Chris Isaak, featuring largely acoustic arrangements. With the exception of its final track, the album consists of covers, many of classic songs which refer to or are styled to suggest tropical, laid-back settings, such as the Hawaiian-tinged "Sweet Leilani" and "South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)". Though its title refers to Baja California, the album was recorded at San Francisco's Coast Recorders.
