The album have some heavy hitters working with "Captain Kirk." The album was produced and arranged by Ben Folds from Ben Folds Five. William Shatner doesn't sing but he talks lyrics of the song. This is very reminiscent of Anne Clark. That's that Anne Clark the British poet who started her music career in the 80s, not St. Vincent who is also another Anne (with an "e") Clark.
The opening track is a Pulp cover song, Common People, and while it may be considered as a novelty to some, I think it's pretty well done. The second song It Hasn't Happened Yet is a quieter pace, it's between Adult Contemporary and Bossa Nova. You'll Have Time the backing band goes to church on this number. That's Me Trying is a Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin) for daughters. Bens Fold along with Aimee Mann (Til Tuesday) sings the chorus on this number.
(probably edit in more of the review - time permitting)
