"Normally filed under ""folk"" and normally found treading the folk circuit, Eleanor has never felt bound by her roots and has successfully included many others in her repertoire - blues, soul, rock. 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. This 2008 release was originally conceived as a covers album based on the theme of hitting 40 and mid life crisis, ""Love Must Tough"" has emerged as hybrid - mainly covers/interpretations, but mixed with an original and a clutch of co-written numbers. Even the cover artwork has a typically 60's layout." Mother's Little Helper, Love Must Be Tough, Old New Borrowed and Blue, Lubbock Woman, If You Want Me to Stay, Roll Out Better Days, The Night May Still Be Young But I Am Not, Hands Off Him, Shame on the Moon, Easy in Love, He Never Spoke Spanish to Me, I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock 'N Roll)
