After the surprise hit of their 50th Anniversary album "Good Times", it appears The Monkees have been back in the studio and recorded a Christmas album.
Set for an October 12th release, the album, titled "Christmas Party" includes songs written by Rivers Cuomo, Peter Buck, and Michael Chabon.
It is not clear at this time exactly how many vocal leads Peter Tork has on the project, the former Monkee has kept relatively out of the spotlight in recent years.
No word on how much of the album is sung by Micky Dolenz, who sung lead on most of The Monkees tracks.
Michael Nesmith has recently recovered from a severe heart aliment, that lead to the cancellation of the remaining shows he was doing with band mate Micky Dolenz. The show, called "The Monkees present: The Mike and Micky show", have now been rescheduled.
Davy Jones passed away in 2012, but he is to feature on this album using lifted and remastered vocal tracks from his own 1976 Christmas album "Christmas Jones".
