Whitey Ford Sings the Blues (Tommy Boy)
Former House of Pain front man Everlast subverts and celebrates hip hop culture with this solo effort, which kicks off with the tongue- in-cheek "The White Boy Is Back." The bravado of the erstwhile Irish-American outfit is supplanted by a real maturity, as Everlast sings sharp lyrics in raplike cadences over his own tight guitar strumming and uncompromising beats. Hip hop heavyweights Guru, Sen Dog (of Cypress Hill), and Prince Paul check in with interludes, while rising stars Casual and Sadat X provide guest flows. Whitey Ford bridges the gap between hip hop and modern rock and smokes the competition.
