Used CD in EXCELLENT playing condition!!! No Skips, No Freeze ups!!! No Scratches, No Scuff Marks!!! CD and all artwork included. CD in Excellent Like New condition.
On Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, Everlast's second solo album, the
opening is an appropriation of "The Fat Boys are Back"; a couple of
songs favor a sensitive folk-rock touch, with Everlast on guitar; and
others reach back for House of Pain's best rock-influenced sounds.
Though plenty of others have rhymed over rock and folk tracks, Everlast
has a good feel for it and his songs are solid. If this isn't a career
album, it's damn close. Track

Once best known for his tenure in the rap unit House of Pain,
Everlast successfully reinvented himself in 1998 with the best-selling
Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, a largely acoustic, hip-hop-flavored effort
in the genre-crossing mold of Beck. Born Erik Schrody, Everlast first
surfaced in Los Angeles as a member of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate Cartel,
issuing his debut album, Forever Everlasting, in 1990. When the album
failed to find an audience, he formed House of Pain with Danny Boy and
DJ Lethal; carving out an image which drew heavily on Everlast and Danny
Boy's shared Irish heritage, the trio managed to overcome the
stereotypes facing white rappers and scored a massive hit with their
1992 single "Jump Around." Their self-titled debut LP also went
platinum, but when such follow-up efforts as 1994's Same as It Ever Was
and 1996's Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again failed to repeat
House of Pain's early success, the group disbanded.
Everlast then
returned to his solo career. While recording Whitey Ford Sings the
Blues, however, he suffered a massive cardiac arrest stemming from a
congenital defect, resulting in heart bypass surgery and an artificial
valve implant. Following his recovery, he completed the album, which
appeared in the fall of 1998 to strong commercial notices. It entered
the Top Ten, went platinum, and launched the pervasive Top 40 single
"What It's Like." After appearing on Santana's vaunted comeback album
Supernatural, Everlast began work on a follow-up album with an eclectic
group of guest artists. Titled Eat at Whitey's, the album was released
in late 2000, and enjoyed critical notice (even if it wasn't quite as
succesful as Whitey Ford). Everlast then signed with Island/Def Jam
before releasing the the moody, song-driven White Trash Beautiful in
2004. The album featured a strong country influence, but its new sound
failed to boost Everlast's record sales. He was dropped from the label
soon after, but Everlast bounced back by joining his House of Pain alums
in a hip-hop supergroup named La Coka Nostra. The group released
several recordings via /MySpace in 2008; that same year, Everlast issued
his fifth studio album, Love, War and The Ghost of Whitey Ford, on his
own label. The album featured a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison
Blues," which Everlast released as a single.
