In 1994, Kaye underwent corrective surgery to fix injuries stemming from the accident, and resumed playing and recording. She collaborated with Fender to produce a lighter version of the Precision Bass that reduced strain on her back and made it more comfortable to play. In 1997, she collaborated with Brian Wilson again, playing on his daughters' album, "The Wilsons", while in 2006, Frank Black asked her to play on his album "Fast Man Raider Man" alongside fellow session stalwart, drummer Jim Keltner. She was featured in the 2008 film "The Wrecking Crew" along with a cast of other studio musicians. In one interview segment, she said that she believed at the peak of her session activity she was making more money than the US President.
