Willie Nelson, Heroes, Feature CD, July 13

Willie Nelson's new album, Heroes, features 13 brand new recordings, produced by Buddy Cannon, and featuring a host of guest artists.

The songs take on a reflective, emotional tone and move from heartfelt (a stunning rendition of Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe") to humor (on "Roll Me Up" with guest vocalist Snoop Dogg). Other guest vocalists on the album include Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, Jamey Johnston, Billy Joe Shaver and Sheryl Crow. Sons Lukas and Micah Nelson also feature prominently, making this a real family affair.

Willie has released a lot of albums in recent years, but this one's a true stand out - sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, with broad appeal to Nelson's core fans, followers and beyond.

KSUT will feature Willie's Heroes on Friday, July 13 at noon. Join us, and don't forget our trivia question at 12:30 and your chance to win free lunch from Zia Taqueria.
