a staple on the Golden Throats albums, William Shatner has released his latest effort some 35 years after the first cult classic and I've not come across a mention here. I heard my first track on KEXP's streaming broadcast a while ago, the tongue in cheek (Shatner, what else?) title track "Has Been". It's hillarious. Remarkably there are some pretty serious names attached to this effort:

"Description: Personnel include: William Shatner (vocals); Brad Paisley (vocals, guitar); Joe Jackson (vocals, piano); Henry Rollins, Aimee Mann (vocals); Lemon Jelly (various instruments); John Mark Painter (guitar, trumpet, bass guitar, background vocals); Jon Auer (guitar, background vocals); Adrian Belew (guitar); Ben Folds (piano, organ, keyboards, synthesizer, bass guitar, drums, background vocals); Sebastian Steinberg (bass instrument); Matt Chamberlain (drums, percussion); Louisville Common People's Choir (background vocals)

I think it might be worth the 13.99 BB wants for it, but I'll still probably try to preview it on the Clever Cactus network first.
