I Can't Get Behind That



William Shatner, Henry Rollins and Adrian Bellew from the 2004 album Has Been.

Henry Rollins tells an amazing story about how producer Ben Folds brought the three performers together in a studio one afternoon to create this remarkable track.

If all you know of Shatner is his self-caricature, you'll be surprised by the depth and quality of this album. The New York Times praised it, writing: "Has Been is likely to turn expectations of Mr. Shatner on their head. For one thing, it is a highly autobiographical and sometimes moving effort. The subject matter shifts comfortably from the profound to the ridiculous. ... Remarkably, the album coheres."
