Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning entertainer William Shatner delivers a big bang to radio with his space themed covers project Seeking Major Tom. This long awaited album, delivered exclusively through AirPlay Direct, serves as Shatner’s first project in seven years.....
“We at AirPlay Direct are thrilled to be working with Cleopatra Records and William Shatner on this unique release,” says Michael Harnett, AirPlay Direct’s Director of Special Projects. “Shatner is a creative legend and the concept of this record takes the iconic creation of David Bowie to a whole new level. The music is timeless, the song arrangements are out-of-this-world, add in artists such as Sheryl Crow, Ritchie Blackmore, Zakk Wylde, Lyle Lovett, Brad Paisley and Peter Frampton and there is great music here that will fit any radio format. Our global radio membership will embrace this record and its universal appeal and so will their listeners. All of the songs are amazing, but Bohemian Rhapsody and Space Cowboy will knock you out! This is such a cool record, everyone needs to hear it, play it and purchase the CD."
Shatner’s collection highlights his signature spoken word delivery on intergalactic themed tracks by David Bowie, Queen, Deep Purple, Elton John, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Police, The Tubes, Thomas Dolby, etc. Throughout the project one will find guest appearances by Brad Paisley, Sheryl Crow, Lyle Lovett, Steve Miller and Peter Frampton plus members of The Strokes, Alice in Chains, The Allman Brothers, YES and MC5.
