Holler Back is the fifth studio album by American country music group The Lost Trailers. It was released on August 26, 2008 as their second album for BNA Records. The album's title track was released in March 2008, becoming their first Top 10 hit that year with a peak at number 9. Following it was "How 'bout You Don't", a Top 20 hit. "All This Love" was originally chosen as the third single for release in June 2009 but after "Country Folks Livin' Loud" charted as an album cut, it was released as the album's next single.
Four songs from the group's 2006 album The Lost Trailers are included on this album: "Hey Baby", "All This Love", "Summer of Love" and "Gravy." The band produced most of the album along with Blake Chancey; Brett Beavers produced the title track, as well as "How 'bout You Don't" and "Things You Don’t Grow Out Of."
The album's title track also served as its lead-off single. Written by The Lost Trailers' lead singer Stokes Nielson and Tim James, this song became the band's first Top 40 country single in early 2008, reaching a peak of number 9 late in the year.
"How 'bout You Don't" was the album's second single, with a late 2008 release. Also co-written by Nielson, it reached a peak of number 17 on the country charts in June 2009.
"Country Folks Livin' Loud" was released as the third single in July 2009 after charting as an album cut in June and replacing "All This Love" which was originally slated to be the third single. Vercher also criticized this song and "Holler Back" for their "inane mischaracterizations" of rural life.
Brady Vercher of Engine 145 gave the album one star out of five, calling it "a ten-song amalgamation of uninspired lyrics, crass commercialism, recycled songs, and exaggerated stereotypes that fail to offer anything of substance."Country Standard Time's Robert Loy gave a generally positive review, praising the band's vocal harmonies and the "thematic consistency" throughout the songs, but thought that the lyrics to "Gravy" were "uncomfortable."
