TIGER TIGER RELEASES NATIVE TO THIS COUNTRY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - AUGUST 2006
Miami, FL Tiger Tiger, the Miccosukee brothers rock band comprised of Lee Tiger and the late Stephen Tiger, are releasing Native to This Country, the last album that Stephen Tiger recorded.
Stephen passed away in June 27th at age 57, two weeks after the band earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Native American Music Association.
Tiger Tiger has been making music for personal and social reasons since the 1960's, playing festivals with Cream, Chicago, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton. They appeared in the movie "Band of the Hand" in the mid 80's (with drummer Paul Deakin of popular country roots group The Mavericks), and wrote the music for a National Geographic special.
"Back in the 60's it made us think that the elusive fame and fortune thing was right around the corner." Stephen Tiger said in an interview in 1994. "But 12 years of touring an elusive road burned us out. That's when we had a shift in consciousness and decided to come home to Florida and get back to our tribe. We started creating benefits and concerts to raise awareness and create a positive image of our people."
"We listened to spiritual music in the 60's, so we sing of our heritage", says Stephen," but we play rock songs. Music is a great vehicle for getting across a message of understanding and getting around stereotypes people have of Native Americans."
The album sizzles with the brothers trademark harmonies and sawgrass sharp guitar licks. The songs range from social statements to love songs, with a song dedicated to - and about - Pope John Paul II.
The cover art by Aleksander Kups, of Warsaw, Poland, shows a pensive looking Lee and Stephen silhouetted against the endless horizon of their beloved Everglades.
``We have big plans for it, even taking it on tour to Europe,'' Lee Tiger says. ``We're going to probably even work harder, as a legacy to us and a tribute to him.''
