Thank you for posting this. When I heard the news of Marty Balin's death, I thought of this song. Big Sur and Humboldt County and Yosemite Valley will forever be the home for my memories connected with this song. Rickie Lee Jones sings this so exquisitely, giving a woman's point of view for the same emotions and experience that Marty Balin brought to us so many years ago.
it was such a long time - years, for sure - I was looking for this version. Ah, Rickie.. your voice is perfectly anchored in the music's frame. A terribly light pain gets out of every note.
Marina...This is proof that it is possible to reinterpet a classic and have miraculous alchemy occur. The test: translate this songs' lyric into ANY language and read it to someone you care about. Watch their eyes and see how the reverie takes hold... I imagine Rickie channeling Billie Holiday.....
This is a perfect example of rendering the emotion from what the lyrics are. That is music.
Wonderful.I've always loved this song but had no idea Rickie Lee Jones had covered it. Thanks.

A small correction, written by Marty Balin (of the Jefferson Airplane).
