William Shatner to release new album (honest!)
http://www.cbc.ca/arts/stories/shatner241203

NEW YORK - According to the New York Post newspaper, William Shatner is set to release a new album.

Guest musicians on the new disc, which was produced by Ben Folds of the Ben Folds Five, include former Black Flag lead singer Henry Rollins and country star Brad Paisley.

The new album isn't the first foray into recording for the Montreal-born actor best known for playing James T. Kirk, the captain of the starship Enterprise on the original Star Trek series.

In 1968, Shatner released his first album The Transformed Man, which includes spoken-word cover versions of the Beatles' Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds and Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man.

7. Black Flag
Though he(Henry) joined Black Flag during their decline, I do admit that that first album(Damaged) is fucking great!

Still, the essential Flag is 'First Four Years'(without Henry).

13. How unfortunate that this cd was not available for Christmas gift giving.
I never have been able to figure out if he is in on the joke or if he is playing it straight.
