Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Tommy Emmanuel is an acoustic guitarist from Australia. I think you will like this song, and it is appropriate for listening to while we wait for the coffee to take hold.

Today's song was written by Harold Arlen from the film, The Wizard of Oz. The arrangement we have is by Tommy Emmanuel. It was first adapted for guitar by the great Chet Atkins. It has been a part of Tommy Emmanuel's catalog since the 1970s, and was included on his album Endless Road, though what we have today is a different in-studio recording.

This is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Tommy Emmanuel.

This classic song by Harold Arlen from the film, The Wizard of Oz, was arranged and performed by Tommy Emmanuel from the mid '70s. It was first adapted from a version played by Chet Atkins, then it evolved over many years and concerts. It appears on Tommy's album 'Endless Road.' The sounds is by Brad Benge, and the video was directed by Clara Emmanuel.

Enjoy.
