Lucie Tiger has been making some huge waves this year, dropping three anthemic new singles – Hummingbird first in February, then Bucket Of Beers in May and Everybody Knows Your Name last month – and now she’s made a triumphant leap to the US country radio landscape.
Tiger released Everybody Knows Your Name on July 12, stunning her fans with its energetic, enigmatic sound, kicked into overdrive with the singer-songwriter’s charismatic flair. In a press release, she described the new tune as a tale of love gone wrong: “It’s not a good idea for guys to mess with a songwriter and I’m sure there’s many girls like me who’ve quickly discovered the lies of the cheating kind of guy.”
Notably, the song arrived in the same week that Tiger and her band headlined the Handy Block Party in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, kicking off this year’s duly acclaimed Handy Festival. Their audience went absolutely wild for Everybody Knows Your Name, and the show itself went so well that a photo of it graced the front page of the Times Daily newspaper that Saturday.
Within days of its release, Everybody Knows Your Name became Tiger’s sixth single to make it onto the US MusicRow country radio chart. That alone is an incredible feat, but it’s especially exciting given the tune marks our final preview of Tiger’s second album, Greetings From Muscle Shoals, which is due out on September 27 via 2120 Music.
Announcing the album’s release date earlier this week, Tiger explained it to be “a collection of songs recorded in Muscle Shoals while I fell in love with Alabama”, where she’s now based. Preorders are available now – head here to secure yours.

On the technical side of things, Everybody Knows Your Name was tracked live in the room by Tiger and her all-star band – Bob Wray (bass guitar), Justin Holder (percussion) and Will McFarlane (electric guitar) – with Tiger herself co-producing alongside John Gifford, Colin Lott engineering, and Don Srygley taking care of the final master.
