Holler Back (song)

"Holler Back" is a song written by Stokes Nielson and Tim James, and recorded by American country music band The Lost Trailers.

[1] "Holler Back" is an up-tempo in which the narrator describes his feeling out of place in an urban setting.

This line refers to the Southern American English word "holler", a slang term for a hollow or valley.

Jim Malec of The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs down" rating, as he thought that it "poke[d] fun" at Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl", but since "Holler Back" was released three years after Stefani's song, he called it "an opportunity lost to very poor timing".

[2] He also called "Holler Back" "an incredibly tight track with a John Rich-worthy hook ... which showcases guitarist Stokes Nielson's spot-on ... under-appreciated songwriting talent.
