Cons: None
It's about time Everlast came out with another CD, he's too talented to not have a CD out in this time of just mediocre artists. VERY underrated, it doesn't seem to phase him and he continues to just make great music from his heart and soul. "White Trash Beautiful is a MUST have for anyone with great taste in music!!!!!!

Pro Reviews: White Trash Beautiful
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews White Trash Beautiful is Everlast's third LP since he exited the house of pain and took up the reigns of consciencedriven, streetwise roots rap. It's been a long time coming. In music biz terms, 2000's critically acclaimed Eat at Whitey's was a dud next to Whitey Ford Sings the Blues' multiplatinum success. That and the wacko record label commingling of the early 2000s found Everlast labelless and lonely. A survivor, he started recording in his home studio and gravitated to the dusky country of outlaws like Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. Those sounds inform White Trash in spirit, if not necessarily in direct practice. For from the opening strains of the hardluck story "Blinded by the Sun," it's clear that the former Erik Schrody's been hearing not only country records but country grammar, too, as well as the organic rappalachia of Bubba Sparxxx. White Trash is a more effective mix of hiphop trope and bluesy strum because, in the years since Whitey's, what Everlast helped start has been finished by types like the above artists, Kid Rock, even OutKast. The relative novelty of hiphop hitting up country and rock has worn away; Everlast can go ahead and kick that chip off his shoulder. Musically, Everlast and longtime producer Dante Ross still get a lot of mileage out of pairing his gruff delivery with spare acoustic guitar, and layering the whole thing over a subdued hiphop bump (think "What's It's Like"). Everlast too still stumbles over the occasional rap cliché, like the street bravado/cynicism verses of "God Wanna" ("I'll act like Ike Turner/Then treat you like Tina"), or "Sleepin' Alone"'s clunky relationship woe. The gritty "2 Pieces of Drama" is better, with its B Real guest shot and referencing of Cypress Hill's "Hand on the Pump," but White Trash is best when it's blending country and blues into Everlast's finely rendered tales of streetlevel loneliness. With its rain effects, slide guitar, and Hank Williams interpolation, "This Kind of Lonely" could be Nashville product with just a bit of tweaking, while the gentle pain of first single "Broken" is tinged with cello and theremin. "Lonely Road" opens up into the album's most hopeful melody, led forth by surging fiddle and a quiet acoustic lead. "My back is strong," he sings. "I'll carry the load." Even if he's sad for a lot of it, Everlast also has some fun on White Trash Beautiful. "Sad Girl" sports a slight Latin flair in its chords as Everlast describes his latest infatuation. "Sittin' in a pearl white Eldorado/In a gangsta lean she was revvin' the throttle," he relates. "She looked like Selena/The truth couldn't be plaina." Overall it's a welcome return for Everlast he sounds comfortable and confident, even in his heartbreak. - Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide |

Pros: Best Album to date
Cons: Fantastic selection of songs
Everlasts third album and this serves up a much healthier plate that eat at whiteys did. Not saying Eat at Whiteys was terrible because it had some classic songs on there but on the whole it lacked inspiring songs, the raps sounded tired and some uncatchy tunes. This new album has some fantastic written songs, very heartfelt and I actually like his singing voice rather than his rapping. Funny I use to be the other way round when he made the transition for House Of Pain to a solo artist I was like "What the hell has he done?" but now I like his syle alot better and the rap tunes are great, there are plenty of good tunes on this album, especially a song called Broken - it is excellentthis album is a must buy, well done Everlast ...
