William Shatner sings again
Actor is serious about new CD -- and gets top-flight help Monday, October 18, 2004 Posted: 9:44 AM EDT (1344 GMT)

William Shatner made his new album, "Has Been," brutally honest.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Just in time for Halloween comes a CD from a guy more likely to inspire a holiday costume than a musical following -- William Shatner.

The one-time James T. Kirk of "Star Trek" fame has released an 11-song collection this month, a follow-up to his 1968 spoken-word debut that garnered such critical infamy it became a camp classic.

So it must be asked: Is this a trick or a treat?

"It's a treat for me," Shatner, 73, said by telephone from Los Angeles, where he was taping an episode of "Boston Legal," his latest TV show. "I hope nobody turns a trick on it."

Me too - Boston Legal is a great new show so far anyway :) He is perfect in that part. Denny Crane

I loved the Botox needle sticking out of his forehead for most of the episode:-)

73! I must be getting older!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

I would post the ballad of bilbo baggins

I once had a friend almost leap from my truck while I was doing 65 on the Interstate to escape that song.

That was actually an extremely funny movie. (Free Enterprise)

Shatner seems to be building a cottage industry around parodying himself.

[Calvin Locke]

Ah well I did buy Leonard Nimoy's tape once.

Depends on what it was. I got a couple of mp3s of him doing HG Wells "The Time Machine".

[Calvin Locke]

I acquired an RM of him performing "Rocketman". From 1978.

Entertaining. "...high..." inhales on cigarette..."...as a kite..."

The horror, the horror!

[skinkinthegrass]

..I seem to remember an album he did years ago in his Rowdy Yates days...Is that what you are referring to?

I didn't know, he sang back then..He did sing in "Paint Your Wagon"...Hell, He could've sung to Francis, The Talking Mule. FWIW. :))

[CaraM]

So what is Boston Legal about? Never watched it. Courtroom Drama? Comedy?

[skinkinthegrass]

..Plays piano. Very good jazz.

I know He likes Jazz...in one of his movies, BIRD (I think), he plays a jazz musician.

[JuliaAnne]

haha me too!

[Max7]

He's also written music for some of his movies, not to mention that he plays piano in them as well.
