Review

"Tiger Tattoo" marks a new direction in Andrew Calhoun's songwriting journey, with an emphasis on storytelling. The title track concerns a woman he met on a temp job in Portland, Oregon in October, 2000. Tracks 2-5 comprise an autobiography; "Miss Hill" recalls a mob scene presided over by an unstable 5th grade teacher; "Goin' Down to See John Prine" recounts family trips into Chicago in 1969-70 to "hear a mailman sing". "When I Have Arms Again" views the riddle of mental illness though the myth of the flight of Icarus. Dave Carter did the vocal arrangement for "Joy" and sings on the chorus, along with Tracy Grammer and Claire Bard. The final two tracks, "I Shall Not Look Away" and a setting of Seigfried Sassoon's "Everyone Sang" are tributes to Dave Carter, created shortly after his death in July, 2002.

"Tiger Tattoo" rose to #8 on Folk-DJ in November, 2002, and was on the 2003 top ten folk recordings list for WFMT and WDET.
