AMAZING TO SAY THE LEAST

Review Score: (10/10)
For those of you who aren't familiar with Everlast,he got his start in the late '80's hiphop scene,and later went on to form House of Pain (you might know them for their 1992 hit single "Jump Around").His early material was vey good,and House of Pain,although extremely overlooked and underrated,were a GREAT group.But "Whitey Ford Sings The Blues" is the album that set a new standard in the career of the mighty one they call Whitey.There is a great variety of sounds on this album-everything from grity hardcore rap that picks up where "Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again" (H.O.P.'s final album;released in 1996) left off,to a very unique folk/blues/hiphop combo is on full display here.The album gets better and better with every song.There's even three cameo appearances in the form of answering machine messages from some of hiphop's finest (Sendog of Cypress Hill,Guru of Gangstar,and producer Prince Paul).I've listened to this album in it's entirerty so many times i lost count.Everything from the bluesy folk-rap tracks like "Ends","What It's Like",and "Today (Watch Me Shine)",to the distorted hard rock style of "Hot To Death",to the straight-up rap song's like "Tired" and "Praise the Lord", this album just downright delivers and never lets up for a second.It's imposible to pick a favorite song,but "Painkillers","Death Comes Calling", and "Get Down" definately stand out,as well as the previously mentioned "Today...". Do not,i repeat DO NOT pass this record up,it's worth every penny and then some.And if you dig this record (and trust me,you will) you should also check out "Eat at Whitey's",the most recent album from Everlast, and House of Pain's "Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again",for those are another couple of masterpieces brought to you by Sir Erik Schrody.
