Cool name! And her voice sounds nice n’ husky on “Christmas in The South.” But is that “south” referring to Melbourne? See, this artist is from Australia, yet she brings a twangy American authenticity to her voice, and she even recorded “Everybody Knows Your Name” at Sun Studio in Memphis, using just her southern-accented voice and a wailing acoustic guitar. Very nice. She pulls out all the stops, though, on “Found My Home,” where the whole band, including an organ player who adds plenty to the sound, helps Tiger and her strong backup singers to drive home the song’s catchy chorus.  The band is terrific— they’re a real Nashville-tight ensemble that helps to make this recording a standout.
