Paul McCartney is coming to PBS this fall, and is bringing a full live performance of his 2012 album Kisses On The Bottom at Capitol Studios with him. The new special, part of the station's "Great Performances" series, will air on September 7.

The Live Kisses performance, recorded a few hours after McCartney accepted his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, features the former Beatle solely on vocals, with an array of professionals backing him up. The line-up includes jazz star Diana Krall on piano, along with John Clayton, Karriem Riggins, John Pizzarelli, Anthony Wilson, Mike Mainieri and conductor Alan Broadbent.

As a bonus, the special will also feature exclusive interviews with McCartney and artists who collaborated on the album Kisses On The Bottom, including Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Krall and producer Tommy LiPuma.
