Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a 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, gypsy jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt, who influenced Nelson's playing.
