Country legend Willie Nelson recorded this rendition of Pearl Jam‘s gentle ballad “Just Breathe” for his latest album, Heroes. 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.
