Tigerton
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about the small village of Tigerton, Wisconsin, where the fast-running waters of Tiger Creek roar through the woods. The lyrics tell tales of the old Lake Shore Railroad days and the pioneer log cabins that still stand in the museum complex. Vocals reflect the quiet pride of a town built along the South Branch of the Embarrass River.
