SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Somewhere Over the Rainbow is the twenty-sixth studio album by country music singer Willie Nelson, released in 1981. It features 1940s pop standards arranged by Nelson. The album's acoustic jazz instrumentation was also meant to play tribute to one of his heroes, Belgian gipsy jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt, who influenced Nelson's playing. -Wikipedia

1981 -this collection of eight standards and two traditional tunes is even more resourceful than Stardust in evoking the timelessness that is Nelson’s stock in trade as a singer, songwriter and Texas-American icon

Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a collection of more '40s pop standards, as arranged by Willie Nelson. While it isn't quite a continuation of what he did on Stardust and Always on My Mind, the record is a safe resting spot and something all the grandmas can enjoy.

Nelson's best since Stardust isn't quite the rehash it seems to be.
