The captain of sci-fi returned in 2013 with his first foray into prog rock – a momentous concept album focusing on such rich and timeless themes as aging, depression, love and beauty. William Shatner penned all of the lyrics for Ponder the Mystery, and his deft and poetic wordplay is sure to delight all of his fans. Producer extraordinaire and prog rock icon Billy Sherwood brings a whole host of incredibly talented musicians along for the ride including Steve Vai, Rick Wakeman, Hawkwind's Simon House and Nik Turner, Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese, jazz great Al Di Meola, country superstar Vince Gill, and others! Shatner himself even called the album, "Quite possibly the most creative thing I have ever done."
