Rainbow Connection (album)


Rainbow Connection is the 49th studio album by country singer Willie Nelson. It was recorded in December 2000 and January 2001 at Willie's ranch near Spicewood, Texas. Willie’s daughter Amy Nelson was just five years old when she first heard Kermit the Frog sing “Rainbow Connection” in The Muppet Movie, and she spent the next twenty years trying to talk her dad into recording it. In 2001, he finally did, with Amy co-producing.
Rainbow Connection was nominated for the 44th Grammy Award for Best Country Album.
