Everlast's first solo album Forever Everlasting – which was largely made possible by rapper-turned-actor Ice T – failed both critically and commercially. His second solo album Whitey Ford Sings the Blues – which was released a full 8 years later and after Everlast had a major heart attack – was both a monster commercial and critical success. His third solo album Eat at Whitey's failed commercially but was embraced critically, especially by Rolling Stone which reviewed the album between "good" and "great" and focused on it as that month's most important release. White Trash Beautiful, Everlast's fourth solo album, was not a commercial success and received mixed reviews.
