Hold That Tiger is the fourth album released by The Muddy Basin Ramblers. The album was nominated for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in the Best Recording Package category.[1]

The album was designed by Onion Design Associates based in Taiwan by art directors Andrew Wong and Fongming Yang.[2] The visual style of the album incorporates Taiwan’s religious folk culture, Taoist mysticism, and 50’s retro-futurism. The CD sleeve itself is modeled after a Taoist Fu talisman.[3]
