There are two bands on this website.  This page focuses on The Rick Pollack Trio. 

The first nine videos below were recorded at a recent Rock, Pop and Soul gig. The music is from the 1960's and 1970's. 

Most listeners are likely to know With A Little Help From My Friends, Country Roads and This Land is Your Land.  They 're given a soul-influenced treatment here. 

Fans of pre-Beatles rock'n'roll may remember Love Potion #9.  (Don't Go) Please Stay is an early Drifters hit co-written by Bert Bacharach.

James Carr recorded Love Attack. His name may not be familiar now, but he was one of the great soul singers back then.  Love Attack was covered by Toots (of Toots and the Maytals fame) as a straight soul ballad, not reggae-ized.  

There are two truck drivin' songs. Willin', written by Lowell George and recorded by Little Feat. It was later covered by Linda Ronstadt. The second truckin' song is Six Days On The Road, written and recorded by Dave Dudley and covered by Taj Mahal.  

The last video from this gig is Tupelo Honey, a love song written and recorded by Van Morrison.   

Scroll a little further and there are two videos from a recent Senior Living gig.  There's a sing-along of the Banana Boat song (Harry Belafonte) and another video of some comedy.  Who knew urology could be this funny? 

Further down are mp3's of early 60s rock, mid 60's rock, Latin (Sway), and even a non-Monkees rendition of I'm a Believer. 

And, at the very bottom, a long list of tunes we play.  Classic rock, pop and soul with some Great American Songbook. 

Of course, the trio can play Brazilian Jazz too (the same musicians play in The Brazilian Project). 

There are a bunch of musical styles here, but what unites them is that every song can make people feel something. Laughter counts.
