The Musical Messiah Returns

When you think of the truly great singers, one name rises above the rest. Pavarotti? Bono? Bennett? Nay, dear friends. These people are no talent hacks when compared to Him. Who is this person you ask? The man, the voice if you will, William Shatner.

Shatner, whose distinctive phrasing has already made him a musical legend, has decided to grace us with a new album. His musical collaborator this time around is none other than Ben Folds of Ben Folds Five fame. Joe Jackson sings all the truly rockish parts of the songs.

Here is a link to Shatner's rendition of the Pulp classic Common People. Shatner truly makes it his own. You must stretch and truly focus your chi before listening or you may die. You have been warned.
