Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the massive crossover success of 'Stardust', Willie Nelson continues his exploration of the Great American Songbook with a set heavily inspired by the acoustic swing of Django Reinhardt. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' relies on sparse, completely acoustic arrangements, highlighting the outlaw country icon's surprisingly nimble and highly emotive jazz phrasing.
