Exciting news and even more reason to get into the holiday spirit courtesy of the Monkees' plans to release their first-ever full-length holiday album!
The upcoming album titled Christmas Party (courtesy of Rhino Records) will include new original songs along with a number of holiday classics featuring the voices of Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, Peter Tork and even the late Davy Jones (taken from vintage recordings, Jones' voice will be heard on two of the album's cuts).
"Silver Bells," "The Christmas Song," "Wonderful Christmastime" are favorite standards featured. New songs included on the disc have been penned by the celebrated likes of Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Scott McCaughey (the Minus 5, the Baseball Project), Rivers Cuomo (Weezer), Andy Partridge (XTC) and album producer Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne).
