Product Description

Jewish Music Group today announced the release of Exodus: An Oratorio In Three Parts with William Shatner and the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Recorded in
Arkansas, the album features William Shatner s unique vocal style on each track. The collection will be released on April 15, 2008 and is a must have for all fans of Shatner as well as people interested in inspirational recordings and classic Biblical literature. Music for the album was written by David Itkin.

Emmy and Golden Globe winner William Shatner is famous for his portrayal of both Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek) and Denny Crane in Boston Legal. His latest album,
the critically acclaimed Has Been has sold over 70,000 units in the U.S. and his reading of Elton John s Rocket Man from the Science Fiction Awards is an internet
favorite and has over 1 million hits on YouTube.com.

Commenting on Exodus, Shatner recently stated: It was a hot summer night and three thousand people filed into the venue. They did not know what they were going to hear.
At the other end of the theatre, I was at the artist entrance and making my way backstage. I too did not know what was going to happen. The experience that the actor and the audience had that night was unique and in that cyclone of energy between actor
and audience, between musicians and music, the synergy was palpable. Listen to this record and you may have an experience that you have never had before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shatner Rocks the Bible, May 19, 2008

By	Bella Miriam "musicmaven" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

You really have to hear this to believe it. If you are a Star Trek fan or an Pop Culture Fan or a Bible Toting Trekkie with a 'tude.... this is a must have item.

All of Shatners joy in life and personality comes shining through...
The meaning in every word resonates because you are getting the word of G-d from a great orator. How fun to watch an old episode of Star Trek with the kids and then flip this on. The Bible as read by Cap'n Kirk...what could be bad about that?

Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars William Shatner still the Captain leading the Exodus, May 8, 2008

By	R. Kim - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was watching William Shatner on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I heard Mr. Shatner talk about his new CD "Exodus."



Being the huge William Shatner fan that I am, I immediately had to purchase this CD. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed the "Exodus" CD.



Shatner's reading of "Exodus" would make both Charlton Heston and God proud!



I highly recommend this fantastic CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Meet The New Moses!!!!, May 8, 2008

By	D. Schachtel (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

William Shatner's "Exodus" was one of the most uplifting, inspirational CD's that I have listened to in a very long time!

I felt like I was right there in the live audience with all the actors, musicians and of course Bill Shatner!

The music and singers are just amazing.

This is a great CD for fans of William Shatner, but also people that are interested in the book of "Exodus."
