Lucie Tiger’s album The Memphis Tapes was released on September 23, 2022, and debuted at #7 on the AIR Top 20 Australian Independent Record Label Albums Chart on October 3, 2022. The album was recorded at legendary Sun Studio in Memphis and features ten of Lucie’s original songs. The studio’s unique slapback/echo tape machine adds a vintage vibe that shines a light on the emotions in Lucie’s lyrics and reveals her guitar skills.
Working late into the night, it was easy for Lucie to take advantage of the warm, ‘live’ feel of the studio which had played such an important role in the early recordings of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
With producer Daniel Crockett at the helm, the tracks on this album are a departure from Lucie Tiger’s usual recordings with their full band sound. The Memphis Tapes feature her songs exactly the way she wrote them. And, yes, she celebrated with a few late night Mint Juleps at the Hotel Peabody when she finished recording.
An authentic and respected songwriter and performer, this has been a great season for Lucie Tiger. Her debut album reached #14 on the ARIA Country Top 20 Album Chart (Australia’s equivalent to Billboard). She’s been selected as one of Top 30 Writers On The Rise for the Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival (USA) November 2022, and four of her latest singles charted on Australia’s leading music chart, the CountryTown Hot 50 Chart and featured on the MusicRow Country Breakout Chart.
