'Tis the Seasons
Frankie Valli has reunited with producer and fellow Four Season Bob Gaudio for an all-new Christmas album. 'Tis the Seasons, says Gaudio, "is definitely eclectic by most standards - conventional in choice of material but not treatment...So if you guess this effort is a little of what you haven't heard from Frankie, your guess would be a lot right."
