Band of The Month featured artist Everlast returns today with another powerful live performance of tracks from his upcoming new solo album, The Life Acoustic, arriving August 27 via his Martyr Inc record label. The man who fronted House of Pain, helped launch La Coka Nostra and cut an entirely new path for himself with a wealth of powerful grit-&-rhythm solo albums, is revisiting signature tracks from his career and beyond on the collection.
The Life Acoustic will feature reworked and stripped versions of signature Everlast songs and beyond, including “My Medicine,” which originally appeared on Snoop Dogg’s Ego Trippin‘ album in 2008, an acoustic version of the monster House Of Pain anthem, “Jump Around” and more.
We set up shop at Swing House studios in Los Angeles for an exclusive CraveOnstage session, and August’s featured Band of The Month artist brought the goods. So far we’ve shared with you an exclusive performance of “Sad Girl,” the first track off The Life Acoustic, as well as a funked-up, positively badass cover of “Children’s Story” by Slick Rick, filtered through the unique stylings of Everlast. Now check out an exclusive studio performance of “Stone In My Hand,” a song that takes on an added poignancy in today’s NSA-deluged world of stripped rights and rule-by-fear tactics.
Next week we’ll bring you another performance from our CraveOnstage session! Additionally, check out the official track listing for The Life Acoustic below and be sure to pre-order the album now, which will be available on cd and vinyl.
