Why eastwood rhymes the way it does
In our engine, eastwood registers as a two-syllable word on a back /uห/ (/uห/) that shuts cleanly on a stopped consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 112 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 154, assonance 3,514, and consonance 779. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. How to use it: hold the strict matches for the moments the listener expects, and use the slants to surprise where they don't. Eastwood pairs especially well with assonance because the vowel column is deeper than the consonant column.
