Kisses on the Bottom
Beautifully crafted collection of standards. McCartney shows real love and respect for the classic songs which he was heavily influenced by while growing up in post WW II Liverpool. His vocals are gorgeous, clear and sensitive. "Inchworm", one of my favorites, is sweet and sparsely orchestrated. I don't agree that Paul has run out of ideas, ("My Valentine" is strong and lovely), he's just paying homage to some of his roots, with a modern sensibility. Lennon and McCartney were just as indebted to the writers of these songs as they were to Little Richard and Elvis.
