The Beatles' 'Rubber Soul' still has me tuning in
I can rarely say that a 55-year old album is still on my heavy music rotation to this day.
The Beatles’ sixth album “Rubber Soul” was released on December 3, 1965.
The album title is derived from the term “plastic soul,” a colloquialism for un-authentic soul music, with the Beatles showing humility and admiration towards the African American artists who defined the soul genre.
Being the first album free of concert, radio or film commitments, this album began a creative renaissance for the band, allowing them to focus more on production rather than stage performing.
Combining the musical talents of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the Beatles have been widely regarded as the greatest band of all-time.
They have become my favorite musical group not only because of their status, but also because of the impact they have had on the music industry that is still seen today.
