Our Take

At first glance, the idea of William Shatner releasing an album of children's songs may sound as bizarre as a Star Trek episode involving aliens who communicate solely through interpretive dance. But with "Where Will The Animals Sleep? Songs For Kids And Other Living Things," Captain Kirk proves once again that he boldly goes where no man has gone before.

From the opening track, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Earth," Shatner's distinctive spoken word style adds a new dimension to familiar nursery rhymes. His theatrical delivery and quirky charisma bring a sense of wonder and whimsy to songs that could easily veer into the realm of cheese.

On "The Itsy Bitsy Spider Crawled," Shatner's voice weaves a captivating tale of a heroic arachnid braving the elements, while on "Old MacDonald Had A Farm," he takes us on a surreal trip through a farm filled with intergalactic creatures.

While some purists may balk at the idea of a legendary actor turning children's songs into avant-garde performance art, "Where Will The Animals Sleep?" is a delightfully surreal journey that is sure to enchant listeners of all ages. So, grab your phaser and beam up to Shatner's imaginative world where the animals sleep in far-flung galaxies.

About the artist

William Shatner

Ah, the one and only William Shatner. For those who only know him as the iconic Captain Kirk from Star Trek, you're missing out on a whole other side of this multifaceted performer. Born in Montreal, Canada in 1931, Shatner has had a career that spans over six decades and crosses multiple mediums. From television to film to music, there seems to be no limit to this man's talents. But it's in his music career that Shatner truly shines. With a discography that includes spoken word albums like "The Transformed Man" and "Has Been", Shatner has shown us that he's not afraid to take risks and push the boundaries of what is considered conventional music. His distinctive spoken word delivery combined with experimental musical arrangements has earned him a cult following that can't get enough of his unique sound. But it's not just his music that sets Shatner apart, it's also his sense of humour and self-awareness that make him a joy to watch both on stage and on screen. Whether he's engaging in a hilarious duet with a fellow musician or poking fun at his own legendary status, Shatner always keeps us entertained. So, if you're looking for something a little bit different in your music collection, look no further than William Shatner. With a career that has been as bold and adventurous as the characters he's portrayed, Shatner continues to surprise and delight us with his ever-evolving artistic endeavours. Live long and prosper, indeed.
