Snoop Dogg,

with
Merle Haggard,

Billy Joe Shaver and Nelson's sons, Lukas and Micah. Produced in Texas
by Buddy Cannon, the material ranges from classic country songs such as "My Window Faces the South" to Pearl Jam's "Just Breathe."

Heroes is Nelson's first project since signing a new deal with Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music,
which will be issuing new recordings and compilations of previously-unreleased tracks.
