His performance at the Capitol Studios in Hollywood, CA on February 9 will be streamed on iTunes.
The album entitled Kisses on the Bottom showcases 16 songs. McCartney’s new album centered on his attempt to revive classics from the “the great American Songbook.” Four out of sixteen songs were his original compositions.
The album will hit stores on February 6 and will be available on iTunes for $9.99.
