Free Music Notes for Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Free Music Review: Willie infuses these songs with incredible power, heart and soul--BRAVO, WILLIE NELSON !!!,
Hit: 5 Stars
Willie Nelson turned out another great album of classic American pop standards with Somewhere over the Rainbow. Willie pours heart and soul into the songs on this CD and just one listen proves it! The sound quality is excellent and that artwork largely replicates the artwork from the original vinyl record album release.
"Mona Lisa" starts the album off; and Willie never skips a beat! His voice conveys all the emotions of the lyrics to this ballad; and that elegant guitar arrangement enhances the natural beauty of this song. "Exactly Like You" gets a most spirited arrangement and the musical interlude is amazing! Willie never lets go of a single superfluous note and that's grand.
"Who's Sorry Now" is partly performed with a tempo that is somewhat faster than I'm used to; but it grew on me relatively quickly. The beautiful arrangement complements Willie's vocals to perfection; and "Who's Sorry Now" is easily a highlight of this album. "I'm Confessin' (That I Love You)" is very well done; and listen for Willie to do a superb job on "Won't You Ride in My Little Red Wagon;" "Over the Rainbow" and "In My Mother's Eyes." In particular, Willie's rendition of "Over the Rainbow" is quite sensitive and I would like to think Judy Garland would have loved this version of one of her signature songs!
"I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (And Write Myself a Letter)" gets the royal treatment from Willie and his pals; they put a lot of energy into this somewhat melancholy number and it all holds its own very well. "It Wouldn't Be the Same (Without You)" has beautiful key modulations and Willie sings this faultlessly; and then the album closes with an instrument version of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" that boasts real electricity and creativity, too!
Willie Nelson fans should add this to their collections; it's a mighty fine album from a great artist. This is also a wonderful album for people who enjoy classic pop and jazz vocals.
