Just watched/listened to Sir Paul’s iTunes full length video concert from his new LP “Kisses on the Bottom.” The title is from the Fats Waller song “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Right Myself a Letter,” FYI, the “kisses on the bottom” refers to the kisses on the bottom of the letter. Backed by the Diane Krall quartet augmented by the great John Pizzarelli guitar and orchestral arrangements by Tommy LiPuma the concert is very charming, especially when Paul is singing to big Abe Laboriel Jr. (his drummer) who sings backup on several tunes. But it was hard to get around the fact that with Diana Krall on his right and John Pizzarelli to his left that either one of them could do a much better job of singing those great songs then Sir Paul could.
