Press Release
The best way to describe Lucie Tiger’s latest single is “city girl meets small town love story” - it’s a feeling she knows will resonate far and wide.
Lucie is always happiest on the road, turning strangers into friends and stopping at as many interesting roadside attractions as possible (Billy The Kid’s grave? Sure! The world’s largest tree, the General Sherman? Done! The crossroads where Robert Johnson sold his soul - the real crossroads? You bet!) but there’s one thing that keeps her from staying on the road year-round - her love for her soon-to-be adopted home, Muscle Shoals Alabama.
In Home Is Where The Heart Is, Lucie takes us to some of the highlights from the thousands of miles she’s traveled across North America but she makes it clear that it’s the American South that has won her heart.
So, what prompted this love affair with the South? As a music-obsessed teenager, Lucie Tiger noticed a common theme running through her favorite songs - they were all recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones, and more recently, the Black Keys and Chris Stapleton recorded alongside the ‘singing river’ in this picturesque small town in Alabama. When she visited Muscle Shoals before the pandemic, Lucie Tiger realized that she’d found her home and you can now find ‘easter eggs’ in her songs that reference not just her love of the South but of particular songs, places and people that have influenced her songwriting.
Like the songs that inspired her, Lucie’s music is recorded live with all musicians together in the studio in Muscle Shoals. Written and performed by Lucie Tiger (acoustic guitar, vocals), Home Is Where The Heart Is features Bob Wray (bass), Brad Kuhn (keys), Will McFarlane (electric guitar), and Justin Holder (percussion). Engineer: Colin Lott; Producer: John Gifford III.
The last two years have been packed full of achievements and firsts for Lucie Tiger. Lucie is the only independent Australian artist to have five singles chart on the MusicRow Chart and four singles on the CountryTown Top 40 chart. Her 2022 album Alabama Highway debuted at #14 on the ARIA Country Albums chart (Billboard equivalent).
