小简介

相信很多人早就听过饶舌乐团House of Pain的那首超级经典单曲Jump Around，蕴育这首曲子的功臣之一正是这张专辑的主人翁Everlast，他本名是Erik Schrody，曾经是rap大师Ice T所组的Rhyme Syndicate Catel其中的一员，1990年，出道之初即以这张「Forever Everlasting」向乐坛探路，可惜当时清一色以黑人所主导的Hip-Hop乐圈，对这白人年轻小伙子的作品，真的简直是视若无睹。之后他与MC Danny Boy及DJ Lethal合组House of Pain才以Jump Around一曲横扫全球。一直到现在，这歌依旧是经常在舞厅听见DJ播放。House of Pain接下来在1994年的「Same as It Ever Was」及1996年的「Truth Crushed To Earth Shall Rise Again」二张专辑，都无法达到先前的成绩，而宣告解散，Everlast再度以个人名义发表作品，1998年的专辑「Whitey Ford Sings the Blues」获得了市场及乐评的肯定。

Once best known for his tenure in the rap unit House of Pain, Everlast successfully reinvented himself in 1998 with the best-selling Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, a largely acoustic, hip-hop-flavored effort in the genre-crossing mold of Beck. Born Erik Schrody, Everlast first surfaced in Los Angeles as a member of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate Cartel, issuing his debut album, Forever Everlasting, in 1990. When the album failed to find an audience, he formed House of Pain with Danny Boy and DJ Lethal; carving out an image which drew heavily on Everlast and Danny Boy's shared Irish heritage, the trio managed to overcome the stereotypes facing white rappers and scored a massive hit with their 1992 single "Jump Around." Their self-titled debut LP also went platinum, but when such follow-up efforts as 1994's Same as It Ever Was and 1996's Truth Crushed to Earth Shall Rise Again failed to repeat House of Pain's early success, the group disbanded.

Everlast then returned to his solo career. While recording Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, however, he suffered a massive cardiac arrest stemming from a congenital defect, resulting in heart bypass surgery and an artificial valve implant. Following his recovery, he completed the album, which appeared in the fall of 1998 to strong commercial notices. It entered the Top Ten, went platinum, and launched the pervasive Top 40 single "What It's Like." After appearing on Santana's vaunted comeback album Supernatural, Everlast began work on a follow-up album with an eclectic group of guest artists. Titled Eat at Whitey's, the album was released in late 2000, and enjoyed critical notice (even if it wasn't quite as succesful as Whitey Ford). Everlast then signed with Island/Def Jam before releasing the the moody, song-driven White Trash Beautiful in 2004. The album featured a strong country influence, but its new sound failed to boost Everlast's record sales. He was dropped from the label soon after, but Everlast bounced back by joining his House of Pain alums in a hip-hop supergroup named La Coka Nostra. The group released several recordings via MySpace in 2008; that same year, Everlast issued his fifth studio album, Love, War and The Ghost of Whitey Ford, on his own label. The album featured a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," which Everlast released as a single.
