Steve Howe, John Wetton, Patrick Moraz, Steve Hillage, Ritchie Blackmore, Alan Parsons and Edgar Froese, among others form the lineup for William Shatner's upcoming release which includes covers of artists such as David Bowie, Hawkwind, Queen, Golden Earring, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Police and others....

Here is the source: http://www.williamshatner.com/Article419.phtml

This should be interesting, don't you think?

I can think of little better than William Shatner doing prog. His album "The Transformed Man" remains one of my favorites.

P.S. Holy cow! Manuel Gottsching and Dave Davies are on there too! This is going to be amazing!

What my brain cannot process is the combination Shatner + Froese....
This should be really interesting

That is kind of awesome and unexpected. "Has Been" was a really fantastic album. Shatner is really great at surrounding himself with talented people and bouncing ideas off of them.

And it's not as if prog is a new territory for him. He played with Adrian Belew on his previous album.

Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge and Cactus on drums too! And Michael Schenker of UFO on guitar. Really interesting line-up.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I had no idea about this-have been a big Shatner fan for decades, and for him to team up with people like this sounds totally awesome!
