From talking to Tommy Boy artist Everlast, it is obvious that he is no longer as brash and devil-may-care as he was in his days with House of Pain.
In surviving since losing his girlfriend and a near-fatal heart attack, he is a different, more mature person. He reflects his growth in his new solo album, "Whitey Ford Sings The Blues," songs from which he'll perform at the State Theater tonight.

This week Emmys were handed out to shows the Academy deemed worthy. But as the writers of "The Simpsons" have been quick to point out in episode-after-episode, these awards have very little validity.

Obviously, there's little chance of a sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time - the "Titanic" sank, you may recall - but that's not the case with the biggest-selling soundtrack of all time.
Hence "Back to Titanic" (Sony), more of James Horner's lovely orchestral score. Also included are lively reels and jigs from "An Irish Party in Third Class" (along with a haunting Celtic "Lament"'), Maire Brennan's ethereal reading of "Come, Josephine, in My Flying Machine" and several pieces by the "on board" string ensemble, including a stately "Nearer My God to Thee" (reprised solo by fiddler Eileen Ivers).New 'Titanic' score sails
