Kirk meets Kink on new Shatner album: "Star Trek" legend William Shatner announces the guest/song list for his next album, and it includes the likes of Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi, Funkadelic bassist Bootsy Collins, talk-box virtuoso Peter Frampton, and power chord superhero and undersung Kink brother Dave Davies.
And the set of songs for this high-concept collection is equally likely to conjure up memories of FM radio (or MTV), with tunes like Steve Miller's "Space Cowboy," Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," Duran Duran's "Planet Earth," Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science," and--wow--Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
