Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) is a jazz album by the bassist Charlie Haden and the guitarist Pat Metheny.

[1] "Tears of Rain" is an original composition for this project by Metheny, recorded with his sitar-guitar.

In the CD booklet, Haden asserts (incorrectly)[citation needed] that Johnny Mandel's "The Moon Song" had never been recorded before.

[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected the album as part of its suggested Core Collection.

[3] AllMusic called it "a fine record when the material is happening, but a bit of a chore when it is not".
