Goodbye Tiger is the fourth studio album by Australian rock music singer-songwriter, Richard Clapton.

Australian singer-songwriter-guitarist, Richard Clapton, started writing tracks for his fourth studio album after he and a group of friends were at Sydney Town Hall to see American journalist, Hunter S. Thompson, in October 1976.

[3] He wrote the title track at that friend's apartment and later recalled, "It was the only time I've ever written a song and then not gone back and changed a word.

Clapton, essentially a singer-songwriter, working within the security of numerous band line-ups, wrote his best lyrics on this album.

[3] The writers and music journalists, Toby Creswell, Craig Mathieson and John O'Donnell, described how, "Strangely, all the songs were about Australia..." despite being written while he was in Europe.
