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."

  1. Terrible actor.. Probably a terrible singer by Brahmastra · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ever noticed the horrible overacting in the old Star Trek. I'm going to assume the music is also bad.

  2. Bad music? by weez75 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I for one find it immensely better than the efforts by fellow Trek star Leonard Nimoy. Have you guys heard The Hobbit Song?

    Any hopes of a guest appearance by David Hasselhoff?

    The article you linked to said the album was already recorded. I guess the worst part is over, though. Those poor, poor people.

    An album of medical-related cover versions (Something's Got A Hold Of My Heart, etc) from DeForest Kelly

    Sorry, but, uh, He's dead, Jim.
