Which 2012 McCartney album mainly covers traditional pop and jazz standards?

“Kisses on the Bottom” is the 2012 McCartney album mainly devoted to traditional pop and jazz standards.

The record consists primarily of songs McCartney heard while growing up, including material associated with the 1920s through the 1950s. Its repertoire includes “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” and “Bye Bye Blackbird,” making it a clear departure from his usual rock-oriented solo albums.

Although it is largely a covers album, McCartney contributed two new songs: “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts.” Eric Clapton plays guitar on “My Valentine,” while Stevie Wonder contributes harmonica to “Only Our Hearts.” Diana Krall and members of her band also provide important jazz-oriented backing.

Tommy LiPuma produced the album, which was recorded mainly at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, with additional work in New York and London. A common mistake is to describe the entire album as covers: its two McCartney originals are central exceptions.
