The men of Soulive have put together a funktastic album of Beatles covers titled Rubber Soulive (which in itself calls back to their classic album Rubber Soul). Of course it's got that Soulive jam sound to it, but in its homage it reminds me of a Booker T. & the MG's album, which were invariably chock full of cover songs. The group definitely brings their own musicianship to the table though in bringing this songs to life as some funky instrumentals. They'll be touring over the next few months and playing some of these tunes for sure (as you can see in the video above). Check out the dates below.
