Named after and leading with a Kermit the Frog favorite, it tosses off many other gems this great lover of American song never got around to telling us about before

Pop Matters
This is probably Nelson's most casual and intimate album of recent years.

The cliche about children's albums by "adult" artists is that they're for grownups too. In this case, that's literally true, as Willie Nelson cannily conceived RAINBOW CONNECTION as a "family album" that moves chronologically from childhood concerns to more adult considerations (and compositions).

The album features 13 songs including Willie’s cover of the great Muppet Movie classic, Rainbow Connection by Jim Henson. His interpretation of the song is amazing, and moving. The album is worth it just for that.

But what you can expect to pay for the illusion of effortlessness is the reality of effortlessness, which is that sometimes it falls on its face. Here that doesn't happen often.
