Willie Nelson just keeps on rolling. The legendary singer-songwriter's latest, Heroes, is due May 15th, marking his first release on Legacy, and it features guest appearances from the likes of Merle Haggard, Billy Joe Shaver, Kris Kristofferson, and (um) Snoop Dog. It's said to be a mix of new originals ("Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" is one of the titles) scattered amongst fresh takes on classics ("My Window Faces the South," "Cold War with You") and unlikely covers, including versions of Tom Waits, Coldplay and Pearl Jam songs.
It's Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe," featuring a guest spot from Nelson's son Lukas, that's the first from Heroes to see the light of day-- stream it now via Rolling Stone.
