Irene Kelley - Yellow Brick Highway

Irene Kelley/Steve Leslie
Really thought about covering the song, “Snowbird” by Anne Murray as this has been a long time favorite. I got with another longtime friend and co-writer Steve Leslie from EMI publishing days. Steve had a great hook line, “Yellow Brick Highway” and I of course have a love of the movie Wizard of Oz. This gives a nod to the yellow brick road and opens us up for many great metaphors and imagery. Between the inspiration of Snowbird, the Wizard of Oz and Steve’s great line, we had our song in a very short time. This is one of my favorites.
