Chrome Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 An all-star CD starring William Shatner? Ben Folds puts own album on hold for actor's work Thursday, June 24, 2004 Posted: 9:16 AM EDT (1316 GMT) CLEVELAND, Ohio (Billboard) -- Ben Folds is pushing back the release date of his next solo album to early 2005 in order to give "Star Trek" veteran William Shatner's upcoming collection, "Has Been," his full attention. The set is being targeted for a September release by Shout! Factory. "It is a great record and it is really worth going out and doing some shows in major cities," Folds told Billboard.com. "(Shatner) is not a musician at all -- he's not rapping or singing -- but he is still part of the music. I've never heard a record quite like it." Shatner previously guested on Folds'1998 solo album "Fear of Pop, Vol.1" Shatner's album was produced and written mostly by Folds and includes cameos by Henry Rollins, Aimee Mann and Joe Jackson, who duets with Shatner on Pulp's "Common People." Author Nick Hornby ("High Fidelity") also co-wrote a song with Folds for the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Does Dave Letterman still do that segment called "Dave's record collection". If he does I bet this one would be an instant candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
