February 2, 2011, 13 years ago
Los Angeles-based Cleopatra Records has inked legendary actor WILLIAM SHATNER to a world-wide recording deal for a space-themed concept album entitled Seeking Major Tom to be released later this year.
Comprised of 18 "interpretations" of classic intergalactic rock anthems, the release features guest appearances by Brian May (QUEEN), Ian Paice (DEEP PURPLE), Steve Howe (YES), Peter Frampton and former OZZY OSBOURNE axeman Zakk Wylde (pictured below in session with Captain Kirk himself!) amongst other icons to be confirmed later.
Last week Shatner joined Zakk Wylde at his Black Label Bunker, to lay down tracks for a cover of BLACK SABBATH's classic, 'Iron Man'.
Of Wylde, Shatner commented, "He's fantastic! I'm energized."
Wylde was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Shatner and added, "He's super cool, we had an awesome time working together."
