At 10pm EST on February 9, 2012 Paul McCartney will perform live to the world selections from his new album Kisses On The Bottom. The performance will take place at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California and be streamed free of charge exclusively on Itunes. This will be the first time any of the selections from this new release will be shared with the public in a live setting. Kisses On The Bottom was released only yesterday and is an interesting collection of standards Paul grew up listening to with his family. In fact, he learned many of them from his father playing them on the family piano. There are also two new McCartney compositions – “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts” (which feature guest appearances from both Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder). Both the album and streaming event will have Paul backed by Diana Krall and her band. Diana is a star in her own right with three Grammy Awards, eight Juno Awards, nine gold albums, three platinum albums, and seven multi-platinum albums. The deluxe version of the Kisses On The Bottom CD comes packaged with a download card of the this performance, that can be redeemed after the event. The standard CD contains 14 tracks but no download card. I should also point out that there are two versions of the deluxe CD. The first contains the standard CD plus the download and the second (available exclusively at Target stores in the U.S.) contains a 16-track CD that adds the two bonus tracks “My One And Only Love” and “Baby’s Request” (a new version of the Wing’s track from the 1979 album Back To The Egg).
