First off, I'm a big Star Trek fan. Have attended conventions (back in the 70's), know every original series episode by heart. However, I'm also a musician and music lover.
This is a terrible, terrible collection of  songs. Nichols' voice is adequate; that's not the problem. I don't know the  story of how this album got produced, but the songwriting in it is so  embarrassingly poor that it puts a huge mark of shame on the otherwise  distinguished career of Ms. Nichols. The production sounds like it was done  on someone's PC, and is likewise extremely amateurish.
Please do her a  favor and don't buy this. Listen to this clips provided here and you'll see  what I mean. How sad.
