Whitey Ford Sings the Blues is the second solo studio album by American recording artist Everlast, and the first one following his departure from House of Pain.
It was released on September 8, 1998, via Tommy Boy Records, a full eight years after his solo debut album Forever Everlasting and after he had a major heart attack.
Whitey Ford Sings the Blues blended rap with acoustic and electric guitars, developed by Everlast together with producers Dante Ross and John Gamble.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel wrote that the album "exudes the folk-rock vibe – if not quite the peerless songwriting – of a Bruce Springsteen or a Steve Earle, augmented by the beats that Everlast perfected in his former band.
"[6] Whitey Ford Sings the Blues spawned five singles: "What It's Like", "Painkillers", "Money (Dollar Bill)", "Ends", and "Today (Watch Me Shine)".
