William Shatner - The Transformed Man

There seems... to be... no evidence... of good music! Yes, Steve and Remfry are back with Broken Records and continuing the ongoing search for the worst album ever. This week we’re going full thespian, as we look at the debut album from Captain James T. Kirk himself; William Shatner’s 1986 effort The Transformed Man.

Recorded during his lunch break whilst filming an episode of Star Trek (might wanna fact check that), The Transformed Man see’s Bill taking his hand to both music, acting and... er... being really scared for no reason... often all at the same time, as he covers The Beatles, Bob Dylan and, umm, William Shakespeare. A truly bizarre and unique album, this is the moment that Shatner became a true cult musician. 50 plus years down the line, he’s very much in on the joke, but, as we discuss, was he back then?
