Tough All Over is the debut studio album by American rock band John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, released in 1985.[6][7] 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.[8]

Critical reception

The Rolling Stone Album Guide deemed Tough All Over "grandiloquent claptrap."[5]
