Tough All Over (John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band album)

Tough All Over is the debut studio album by American rock band John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, released in 1985.

It was Cafferty's first attempt to pull his band away from the Eddie and the Cruisers franchise; it was later re-released with a different album cover and "The Voice of Eddie and the Cruisers" added to the title.

The album peaked at No. 40 on the Billboard 200.

Critical reception
The Rolling Stone Album Guide deemed Tough All Over "grandiloquent claptrap."
