Rubber Soulive is the tenth studio album by Soulive, on which the trio covers 11 songs by The Beatles (hence the title being a play on their 1965 album Rubber Soul).

AllMusic reviewer Hal Horowitz writes: "Like the Liverpool lads who intuitively meshed together, Soulive's members interlock to yield results greater than the sum of its parts on this successful tribute that combines the Beatles sense of excitement, imagination. and musical exploration with a funky, down-home R&B/jazz groove."^[1]
