Growling Tiger - Knockdown Calypsos

Photobucket




In 1977, American calypso enthusiast, Steve Shapiro visited Trinidad and sought out Tiger who had long since retired and was presumed to be dead by most people. Shapiro prevailed upon Tiger to do a modern recording of some of his finest works in their original style. At sixty-four years of age, Tiger had lost none of his prowess and the resultant 1979 album titled, KNOCKDOWN CALYPSOS on the Rounder Records label later earned a Grammy nomination.
