William Shatner: The Blues



Tidal Streaming

As Capt Kirk he attempted to protect the universe, but with this album I think he is trying to kill the blues.

I'm sorry, but I am having trouble finding the words to describe exactly how bad the album is.

Shatner may have many talents, but if this album is any indication, music is not among them.  :roll:


Well, it was interesting to listen to a few songs.... There are more Shatner albums on Tidal including one that has a song called ... Beam Me Up

Nick,

Is this the same as when he speaks/interprets the lyrics in his typical Shatner 'elocution' style? I thought this was part of the joke of the day post. :rofl:

Paul,

Well, I would say it’s a combination of speaking and sometimes shouting. But I’m still a big fan of Star Trek and Mr Shatner  :thumb:
It also reminds me of Clint Eastwood singing/talking in Paint Your Wagon....which I enjoyed and was unique at that time. I think that movie goes back to the 60s...

I was also a 'fan' of his, but much later during his TJ Hooker days. He also has a spoken word rendition of the Guns and Roses classic, "You Could Be Mine."  Now, that was wild.  :lol:

Jean-Pierre Rampal/Rene Bartoli: Music for Flute and Guitar (An 18th Century Serenade)



Columbia Odyssey LP

I saw this in the rack at Infinity and grabbed it because I remember seeing this as a kid in my father's record collection.

It actually turned out to be a really nice record. The title pretty much sums it up as to what the music is and it is nicely recorded.

Enjoyable and very relaxing music.

Shiah LP

I got a chuckle out of your choice. I had also ordered Rich’s album, but never did play it as I had decided not to revive my analog rig.
