Shatner to Record Another Album

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

s20451 writes "Slashdotters may remember Canadian actor William Shatner from such hit TV shows as T. J. Hooker and Rescue 911; he was also known to dabble in science fiction. Shatner released an album, The Transformed Man, in 1968. Intending the album to be taken seriously, it is now held up as one of the campiest recordings of all time, including the worst Beatles cover ever produced. Now a new album is in the works, featuring joint work with Ben Folds, Henry Rollins, and Brad Paisley. More on Ananova."

    Oh my god! It's another sign of the apocalypse! We're doomed!!!!

  2. Already did some work with Ben Folds by TTop · · Score: 4, Informative

    Shatner already did a couple new songs with Ben Folds on Ben's solo "Fear of Pop" release -- which, despite my love of Ben's other work, remains a real clunker of an album. And the Shatner songs were among the more interesting, if I recall correctly. (Can you tell that I didn't play it more than twice?)

  3. You left out "Capitain of the starship"!! by gukin · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is ANOTHER William Shatner album called "Capitain of the Ship". It features Mr. Shatner on the cover holding an upside-down tripod and looking very, well, Shatnery. You can find out more here.
