William Shattner - Has Been
Item Number: CDSHAT1
Price: $16.50
Total shock---this far, far from sucks and is a truly unique, unusual and highly listenable gem. Why? Produced and arranged by Ben Folds and featuring numerous notable guest appearances, Has Been is the result of the collision of two great creative forces - a surprisingly pop-driven, lyrically potent collection of songs to enlighten and entertain. Throughout, Shatner`s own insightful lyrics are masterfully woven into perfect pop melodies written and arranged by Ben Folds. Contributing to the project is an incredible lineup of singers and musicians, including Jon Auer, Adrian Belew, Matt Chamberlain, Joe Jackson, Lemon Jelly, Aimee Mann, Brad Paisley, Henry Rollins and Sebastian Steinberg. Highlights include the poignant "That`s Me Trying," penned by Ben Folds with High Fidelity author Nick Hornby, a brilliant version of the Pulp Britpop classic "Common People," featuring vocals by Joe Jackson and closing track, "Real," a duet with country star Brad Paisley, written exclusively for this project. We highly recommend checking this baby out..not for most, but for those who `get it`, you`ll be thankful.
