About this album
Willie Nelson’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a graceful standards set that shows how naturally his phrasing could move beyond country. Recorded in 1981, the album pairs Nelson’s laid-back, conversational delivery with songs from the American popular songbook, including “Mona Lisa”, “Exactly Like You” and the title track. Rather than reshaping the material with spectacle, he sings with ease and restraint, letting melody and character do the work. It reflects a period when Nelson was firmly established as one of country’s most distinctive interpreters, able to treat old favourites as personal, lived-in songs. The result is one of his more intimate and enduring non-hits recordings.
