This week's host is Pieter playing Paul McCartney's Kisses On The Bottom, the 2012 collection of standards Paul grew up listening to 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 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 track listing reveals that Paul has been both reverent and adventurous in his song choices.
" The phrase `Kisses On The Bottom,' 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 Originally made a big hit by Fats Waller in 1935, the song opens with the lines 'I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter and make believe it came from you.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.' "
