Does a musician making a record apart from a band suggest this being the way things were meant to be? I'm not sure. Everlast might be a strange case for that – he did attempt something on his own before House Of Pain, yet he only succeeded as a solo musician after the triumph of the group he was in. Then again, Whitey Ford Sings the Blues deserved the accolades, since the LP is a much better record than his actual debut, since he imbues the hip hop with the other styles on there. We could call him a blues rapper, though this might seem a bit reductive. He does appear to be channeling both musical worlds, but he doesn't always go for the easiest signifiers of the idioms, showing he has a deep appreciation for the genres he plays in.
