William Shatner will be giving the gift of butchered Christmas carols this holiday season. The actor and talk-singer will release Shatner Claus on October 26 via Cleopatra Records.
The celebratory collection of revamped classics hears Shatner enlisting the help of some esteemed pals, including Henry Rollins (for two versions of "Jingle Bells" bookending the album), Brad Paisley, Joe Louis Walker, Todd Rundgren and Artimus Pyle, Mel Collins, Elliot Easton, Rick Wakeman, Ian Anderson, Billy Gibbons, Iggy Pop, Judy Collins and Dani Bender.
Amidst the classic carols like "Blue Christmas," "Silver Bells" and "Feliz Navidad," Shatner also penned an original tune called "One for You, One for Me."
See the full star-studded tracklist down below.
