Who knew House of Pain’s hip-hop anthem “Jump Around” worked just as well as a laid-back, bluesy folk-pop number?

The guy who wrote the song, that’s who. The track, reimagined from the all but inescapable hit in the early ’90s, closes out Everlast’s most recent album, 2013’s “The Life Acoustic.”

The rest of the album takes songs from throughout Everlast’s second-wind career as a world-weary troubadour and gives them the same stripped-down treatment, an approach he’ll again take when he performs solo at the Domino Room on Thursday. While the album strategically deploys piano and a second guitar on many of its tracks, this will be a true, solo acoustic show — the old acid test for great songs.

The rapper-turned-pop singer, born Eric Francis Shrody, logged the second smash hit of his career in the late ’90s with his surprising rootsy shift on “What it’s Like.” But as he’s revealed in many interviews (including one with this reporter during the brief House of Pain reunion tour in 2011), it’s all just hip-hop for him.

So maybe that reworked “Jump Around” isn’t as weird as it seems. OK, it’s a little weird.

Everlast; 9 p.m. Thursday; $20 plus fees in advance, $25 at the door; The Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave., Bend; www.redlightpro.com.
