Macca pays tribute to personal favourites in new album

Paul McCartney, had on December, 2011, announced that February 2012 would see the release of his brand new studio album.
Scores of fans then streamed the new original track My Valentine, many assuming it would be the new record's title track. While a few Twitter hints have been dropped and rumours have run rampant, Paul puts an end to speculation on Friday, confirming that the album will indeed be titled Kisses On The Bottom.
Paul has apparently had some fun with his choice of album title-while causing some confusion amongst those who have historically subjected his every move to microscopic scrutiny. The phrase Kisses On The Bottom, however, actually comes from the album's opener 'I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter'. Originally made a big hit by Fats Waller in 1935, the song opens with the lines 'I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter and make believe it came from you. I'm gonna write words oh so sweet. They're gonna knock me off of my feet. A lot of kisses on the bottom, I'll be glad I got 'em'.
'Kisses On The Bottom' is a collection of standards Paul grew up listening to in his childhood as well as the two new McCartney compositions 'My Valentine' and 'Only Our Hearts'. With the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band-as well as guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder, McCartney's new album is a deeply personal journey through classic American compositions that, in some cases, a young Paul first heard his father perform on piano at home. The full tracklisting reveals that Paul has been both reverent and adventurous in his song choices. The album will also be available digitally.
The album was recorded at the Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, New York and London in 2011. It also features guest musicians, Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder, respectively, on the original compositions 'My Valentine' and 'Only Our Hearts'. Eric also appears on the track 'Get Yourself Another Fool'.
