What a guy! He never stops.
But love is clearly in the air for the former Beatle, who married American Nancy Shevell in October.
His song list includes romantic works from the American Songbook, by composers such as Cole Porter and Harold Arlen. And it comes out just ahead of Valentine’s Day on Feb. 7.
McCartney says he and John Lennon were inspired in their own writing by some of the standards, which he first heard when his father performed them at home on piano.
McCartney worked with Vancouver-based Krall and her band in recording the as-yet-untitled album, and Clapton and Wonder also make appearances.
McCartney says he’s been thinking about the project for 20 years and, at age 69, figured “if I don’t do it now, I’ll never do it.”
I bet Paul would like to be that dashing young man again - what he wants for Valentines.

Yes, for sure - though he's pretty dashing for a man who's nearly 70! Good bones, he has, and all that tofu doesn't hurt either. Plus loving what he does so very much. Aren't we lucky.
