William Shatner Premieres Music Video for "Ponder the Mystery," a New Track Featuring Steve Vai

Former Star Trek and T.J. Hooker star William Shatner, 82, has released the music video for "Ponder the Mystery," the title track from his new album, which was released October 8.

Although the recording features Steve Vai on guitar, Vai does not appear in the video. The guitarist (and background singer) in the video is Billy Sherwood, the album's producer.

Besides Vai, Ponder the Mystery, Shatner's fifth album, features guest appearances by guitarists Al Di Meola, Vince Gill and Robby Krieger of the Doors.

The album also features appearances by Rick Wakeman, Edgar Winter, George Duke, Dave Koz and Mick Jones.

"I've never adhered to the assumption that oil and water don't mix," Wakeman said in a statement. "Stir them hard enough and add some other ingredients and they certainly will mix."
