Fortunately, blues-rapper Everlast was around to perform his hit from the multiplatinum album, growling the vaguely disturbing "Put Your Lights On." But as strong as the song is, Santana is reduced to the role of a hired gun, playing guitar fills that lack his usual distinctive flair.

Creator Erik Schrody (a/k/a Everlast) used up his 15 minutes of fame -- as leader of the gimmicky Irish rappers House of Pain -- a long time ago.
But Everlast has a few worthwhile tricks up his sleeve.
The rest of Whitey Ford alternates between straight hip-hop and guitar-based folk reminiscence, with the occasional Nine Inch/Zeppelin metal riffing ("Hot to Death") and some New Orleans piano rolls on "7 Years." In the end, it's an intriguing trip on backroads not often taken by the MC -- even the pale-skinned, shit-kicking kind.

Everlast, the ex- lead singer of House of Pain, clearly thinks hip-hop has grown a bit too puffy.
Everlast (Erik Schrody) is well aware that he is an odd choice to make this critique -- a Boston white boy who's only jumped around the hip-hop limelight.
The combination is powerful; at moments, Everlast's instrumentation and musical choices are inspired, and he comes across as a world-weary hip-hop troubadour.

Everlast had also had a go at D-12, Eminem's side-project, and initial reports on Detroit TV, which are unconfirmed, speculated that the three men were part of the group.

 CityBeat: Short Takes (2000-10-26)
Limp Bizkit and Everlast -- who both mix Rock with a Hip Hop aftertaste -- are just as much a part of the problem of contemporary music as Britney and Co. They are cogs in the major label music machine, making music from a salesperson's standpoint and not an artist's.
Everlast fares somewhat better with Whitey's, which at least features a couple of stand-out songs., such as the slinky, tuneful and soulful "Black Coffee." But for the most part, the rapper-turned-"singer" simply mimics the style he won critical and commercial success with on his album, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues.
Everlast seems to fancy himself a Blues singer now, but his minimalistic songwriting style makes a three-chord Blues song look like an elaborate Beethoven piece.

Everlast had not been a figure in the public eye.
Perhaps it is the voice, which would be more suited to an old fl blues singer in a mangled hat with ear-flaps than an aging rudeboy emcee.
However, the third song, a collaboration with underground rapper Kurupt called One-Two is a successful merge of the two main sides of Everlast, with a heavy hip-hop rhythm, phat beats, but a not-quite singing, not-quite rapping vocal from our Mr Schrody and a tingly guitar sample, which makes for a heavily bluesy hip-hop cut.

Everlast: I'm enjoying myself, man. I mean, the music is all I really care about, you know, so coming from where I come from in music, you know, starting in the hip-hop and as I was growing older and just remembering music that my parents listened to, you know.
Everlast: A little bit of everything, man. I mean, I tried to, like, on the last 2 records, like, “Whitey Ford Sings the Blues” was kind of like a half songs, half hip-hop record.

 City Pages - The First Shall Be Last
You can tell that Everlast is a new kind of white rapper by the fact that critics and fans aren't comparing him to the fl--read "real," read "authentic"--hip hoppers he's supposed to be mimicking, but rather to big-selling white pop acts.
Everlast's intended new audience isn't the hip-hop heads waiting for the sophomore joint by Prince Paul or old House of Pain fans, either, but the Dilbertian middle-class people for whom panic is just a downsize away.
Everlast name-checks the homeless guy at the liquor store who can't beg enough for a drink; poor Mary who rages as she tries to push herself through the protesters in front of the abortion clinic; pathetic Max who fronts thug, sells drugs, and gets shot in an alley.

Rapper Everlast long ago spent his 15 minutes as leader of the Irish rappers House of Pain.
Confounding the odds, Everlast rejuvenates himself from rap's scrap heap and fashions a new musical identity: the b-boy singer-songwriter.
Ford alternates straight hip-hop with guitar-based folk-soul, mixing in unlikely concoctions such as the Nine Inch Zeppelin riffing on "Hot to Death," and the New Orleans piano rolls of "7 Years." The mix of city-kid rhymer and peckerwood poet is far too earthy to be called trip-hop.

Everlast sounded great with his low raspy voice and his several guitars blaring.
