Click to listen to Willie Nelson's cover of 'Just Breathe' with Lukas Nelson

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.

Zach Rogue of Rogue Wave started his creative side project Release the Sunbird in 2010 after needing an outlet to try something new creatively. On February 21st, Release the Sunbird will drop their latest digital EP, Imaginary Summer, which contains the gentle, melodic "I Will Walk." Initially, Rogue wanted "I Will Walk" to appear in a 2011 film.

"I originally wrote this song for the Paul Giamatti movie Win Win, but it was ultimately rejected – which is pretty funny since the song is about picking yourself up after being rejected. Oh, drink in the irony," Rogue says.

Release the Sunbird's "I Will Walk" is streaming exclusively on RollingStone.com
