Editorial Review:
When you think about it, House of Pain really were ahead of their time. Tracks like "Jump Around" may have been light on the content side, but they delivered in the production department--they played with sounds in the same way that Missy Elliott and Timbaland have popularized, and they crossed over to a rock audience long before Puffy ever tried it. 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. --Randy Silver
Whitey Ford Sings the Blues Reviews:
Whitey 
2009-05-18 - I purchased this CD for one song and one song only "What it's like" but to my delight there are several good songs on this CD like "Ends" and "Painkillers". I enjoy songs that tell a story and Everlast does a great job.
Filthy Album 
2009-04-13 - Don't waste your time or your mind listening to this album...one song is cool - but even that is filled with expletives...this guy's a moron loser and i regret buying it...thank God i didn't pay much for it...and thank the Lord that I was able to trade it in at a local store.
love this cd!! 
2007-06-11 - i think everlast is great, i like most of their music. he has a great voice and sings about real life. i am an almost 40 yr old mom who listens to a wide variety of music.
Whitey Ford sometimes sings the blues... 
2006-03-14 - This album is worth having, if only for the 3-4 good songs out of the chuff that constitutes the rest of the album.
If i wanted hard core ganster bangin rap I would buy it... from the genre Dodgy rap - however, I wanted something a little more chilled.
When he sings the blues he does it well - and when he runs out of blues material he fills the space with a half baked white boy snoop pup style.
Everlast expands himself, but stays true.
2005-08-15 - What a great album. Everlast, after dissapearing for a little bit after he left House of Pain, comes solo. I was skeptical about getting this album when I saw an interview Everlast did, since he stated he was trying to get away from being a hip hop artist and show that he could do the guitar and go into rock and blues. But I saw the guest list on the back, Sadat X of Brand Nubians not on one but two tracks and Casual of the Hieroglyphics crew, aww man I was struck since I was living in the area at the time and loved the group. Prince Paul had a sketch. So I got the album. Wow, this was just tight. My favorite tracks are Money (Dollar Bill) with Sadat X on the Hook. What It's Like, Get Down, which has a tight beat and an accoustic guitar to compliment it, Tired, which Everlast just tears the tracks apart with his lyrics and the beat was just bangin, Painkillers, Funky Beat with Casual and Sadat, and Next Man, the bonus cut, which was just plain sick. Those are my favorites, but pretty much everytrack is good for repeats. This is a must have. One of the classic cd's, in my opinion.
