🎙️ #WhyTheBeatlesMatter | Episode 10: Tom Caufield & The Soul of Rubber Soul 🎶

For the final episode of Why The Beatles Matter, we go out on a high note with the incredibly talented Tom Caufield—a gifted musician and contemplative guitarist who calls my town home. Tom is a prolific composer with multiple albums to his name, and he also happens to be a devoted Beatles fan. I was honored to write the liner notes for his 2023 album, The Whisper Resistance, an extraordinary collection that showcases his depth as an artist.

In this episode, Tom shares his deep knowledge, personal stories, and musical connections to the Fab Four. Together, we take a deep dive into the brilliance of Rubber Soul, exploring its lasting impact, sonic innovations, and the ways it continues to inspire musicians and fans alike. Tom’s insights, paired with his artistry, make for a rich and meaningful conversation that truly embodies why The Beatles still matter.
