Eat at Whitey's

Amazon.com
Everlast continues defying the odds with his sophomore CD. The former House of Pain frontman and Ice-T sidekick defied the odds in 1998 with the chart-topping Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, which moved Everlast beyond his rap roots and deep into a spare, acoustic amalgam of Delta blues, country, and rock--an approach that took critics and fans by storm. Eat at Whitey's finds him beefing up his sound as well as bringing in big names, such as N'dea Davenport (who adds her always welcome vocals on the sexy, R&B-flavored "Love for Real"), Goodie Mob's Cee-Lo, Cypress Hill's B Real, and Carlos Santana, for whom Everlast penned the Grammy-winning "Put Your Lights On." Everlast is still fixated on redemption and regret, but his intensity and passion make up for the narrow focus, as, guitar in hand, he conjures up a nocturnal, sultry world populated with saints, sinners, and homeboys. --Amy Linden

Mmmm...mmmm.......2007-05-06

Whitey can make me have goosebumps--the things he says. If you listen to what he is really saying, it is pretty deep. I love this album. I have had this album for years and the CD has just recently worn out and now I'm buying a new one. This is one CD I can't live without. As a woman especially, I feel he can be sensitive and raw, and tells how men can really feel about women, life, and the world in general. He is so diverse and unique. Two thumbs way up.

I'll have seconds........2006-04-25

I just recently got "Eat At Whitey's", and am glad I did. It's actually the third solo disc of his, and second since House Of Pain. Fans of his "Whitey Ford Sings The Blues" album should like this as well, as it's another good mix of guitars and rhymes. I really like the opener alot, and "Black Jesus" was the hit from this, though not what I would call the best song. "I Can't Move" is a nice mid-paced track, and you gotta love "Deadly Assassins" with B-Real from Cypress Hill. The "Dinner" side of this album is equally good, my favorite songs being "One And The Same", "One Two", and "Graves To Dig". Overall I hesitate to say this is as good as "Whitey Ford", but I will definitely be eating at Whitey's again.

An interesting Album that impresses if you let it!.......2005-10-05

How do you begin this review? Everlast started out in House of Pain back in the day and then when they dropped off the face of the earth Everlast came with a blues/rock album that received a fair amount of praise. Then there was this, his sophomore effort. While not a bad album it does not always flow that smoothly. He opens with "Whitey" an interesting intro that you could totally see Bubba Sparxxx tear apart, but in all fairness this is the only time that Everlast sounds good over a beat on the album. The rest of the album goes back and forth between guitar based tracks and more traditional rap tracks. His style of rapping over rock beats has been done before but he sounds better than most. He is at his best playing a mellow blues riff and kind of half singing half rapping his verses. This album is by no means bad and actually it is pretty good but he should have ditched the rapping altogether, even if Kurupt sounds damn good on their duet "One, Two (12)."

Im "....at whitey's" but the food not so good this time!!.......2004-06-30

Let me start off by saying im a HUGE EVERLAST fan so this album disapointed me....just a little. After hearing his near perfect creation that is "whitey ford sings the blues" i was dying for more. What i loved about ".....sings the blues" was that it had an even balance of rap tracks and str8 up guitar songs. Unfortunately this time its more than 80% guitar and only 20% rap. Dont get me wrong, the songs are mostly top quality, but some of them i felt were mediocre at best such as "put your lights on", "mercy on my soul", "love for real" and "children's story" (which i never liked anyway). BUT the thing is, when he gets it right, EVERLAST gets it really right!!!! The best on the album are "whitey", "i cant move", "black coffee", "babylon feeling" and "one,two". The others i didnt mention are solid efforts but not standouts.

Pushing musical boundaries.......2004-05-20

Ever since I heard "Black Jesus" on the radio I was hooked. I can hardly name another band that plays this style of music. Everlast left only a small amount of hip-hop in his music, and added a lot of R'N'B, acoustic guitar rock, a touch of soul music, and even a string quartet. The resulting innovative blend appeared to be top-quality music that is suitable for serious listening and appealing to fans of different genres. We can say that Everlast addressed the R'N'B roots of hip-hop, but it also sounds very modern.

The diversity of styles presented here is impressive. "Deadly Assassins" is the closest thing to House of Pain times, while "Black Coffee" is almost a ballad. "Love for Real" has this specific bluesy feel, and "One, Two" is a mellow rapping flow. "Children's Story", a cover song, is impressive. Actually, I like the entire album, and I'm particularly impressed with the integration of cello and violin in a music like this. Carlos Santana's desire to work with Everlast is a quality approval mark, and the result is very good.

If your interests in music are broad, and you are not a "rap-fan-till-I-die", then I can't see how you won't like this record. Everlast is not the best singer, and neither he is a skillful guitar-player. But he is an excellent songwriter, sincere lyricist and emotional performer. This is one of my best purchases of recent years.

Customer Reviews:

Nice..........2001-03-26

Downloaded "Black Jesus" from Napster when I heard he had a solo career.... I had to go out an get the album and boy is it worth it! A unique style that works perfectly accross the album... I'll have to check out his earlier stuff! I highly recommend this CD ... a gem of an album in an industry that is over-saturated with sickly-sweet "pop". All you boybands want cred? - Pick-up a guitar, and learn from Everlast. Quality from start to finish. An-mhaith!!
