Love Must Be Tough


Love Must Be Tough is Eleanor McEvoy's seventh studio album, released in February 2008. Unlike her previous six albums, which, with the exception of a few tracks, were written solely by McEvoy, Love Must Be Tough is a mixture of covers/interpretations and self-penned selections.
The album's theme of turning 40 amid mid-life crises is exemplified by the opening track, a fresh interpretation of The Rolling Stones song "Mother's Little Helper". The following eleven tracks continue this theme right up to the closing track, which takes a new look at Nick Lowe's rock classic "I Knew the Bride ".
In October 2008 Love Must Be Tough was named Record of the Year by Hi-Fi+ Magazine.
