Eleanor McEvoy - Love Must Be Tough

Love Must Be Tough is a bold break with the "Me, Myself and I" (self-played and self-penned) approach of Out There, but while exploring old ground with a fresh slant it nevertheless remains an album that has all the hallmarks we've come to expect from Ms. McEvoy – great songs, fantastic production and, of course, Eleanor's wonderful vocals. But her seventh album takes an entirely new twist – in a direction first hinted at on Early Hours. With a supporting cast of Ireland's finest musicians in the form of the South King Street Band, Eleanor takes a retro ride back to the late Fifties/early Sixties birth of rock and roll replete with ragtime jazz trumpets, trombones and saxes.
