It will take a bit to get that 'taste' out of my head, bleah! [If you have ever heard "Baby The Rain Must Fall" with a vibrating voice, you have heard G Yarborough. Think of that voice for most of the length of a movie. -That's- a shudder] Has anyone heard the Henry Rollins William Shatner collaboration? ........................................... Oh come now, "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" wasn't that awful. Well, maybe it was.

Nimoy's cover of "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" isn't bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk57tQmRw70 Here's what Wikipedia says about him: During and following Star Trek, Nimoy also released five albums of vocal > recordings on Dot Records, including Trek-related songs such as "Highly > Illogical", and cover versions of popular tunes, such as "Proud Mary".... > The albums were popular and resulted in numerous live appearances and > promotional record signings that attracted crowds of fans in the thousands. > The early recordings were produced by Charles Grean....

He released a version of Johnny Cash's song "I Walk the > Line".
