Whitey Ford Sings the Blues blended rap with acoustic and electric guitars, developed by Everlast together with producers Dante Ross and John Gamble. The album primarily incorporates a mix of musical styles such as blues, rock and hip hop.
In 18 blues-driven tunes, Schrody spins stark tales of homeless men and unwanted pregnancies ("What It's Like"), faith ("Praise the Lord"), busted relationships ("The Letter") and greed ("Ends"). He played all the guitars on the album, wrote most of the songs and experimented freely.
