Hell In A Halter Top is a single from Lucie Tiger’s ongoing ‘Small Town Scandal’ series - a collection of songs inspired by the steady churn of small-town gossip and news headlines, where reputation, rumor, and reality often collide. With each release, she continues to expand that world, bringing new characters and perspectives into focus.
From Muscle Shoals to Music Row.

She won the Josie Award for Country Vocalist of the Year 2025 and has had nine self-penned singles that have charted on the Music Row Country Breakout chart.
Lucie Tiger skillfully gathers the stories she hears and weaves them into her songwriting. Performing her award-winning songs at songwriter rounds in Nashville and Muscle Shoals, Lucie Tiger has featured at the Muscle Shoals Songwriters Festival (three years running) and scheduled to appear at the Natchez Songwriters Festival in 2026.
