Willie Nelson & Son Cover Pearl Jam

Willie Nelson returns on May 15th with his latest album, Heroes. Produced by Buddy Cannon, the 11-track effort packs new songs, classic country staples, a collaboration with Snoop Dogg and Kris Kristofferson called Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die, and even a Coldplay cover Nelson did for the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation.


The album also features a rendition of Pearl Jam's Just Breathe. Nelson performs the song as a duet with his son Lukas. The arrangement doesn't stray far from Pearl Jam's original recording on 2009's Backspacer, but Nelson adds a touch of harmonica and a light country twang to the meditative folk pop tune.


Heroes will be in stores on May 15th, but you can hear Nelson's Just Breathe today by heading to Rolling Stone.
