Holler is a studio album by American folk rock singer-songwriter Amy Ray, released on Daemon Records in 2018. The music on this album continues Ray's exploration of Americana music and Appalachian culture and has received positive reviews from critics.
Editors at AllMusic Guide chose Holler as among the Best of 2018, rating this album 4.5 out of five stars, with critic Timothy Monger praising her exploration of country music and opining that "Ray's powerful voice delivers personal ruminations, affirmations, history lessons, and the fiery politicized missives and cultural reflections that come from a lifetime of activism". [1] Stuart Henderson of Exclaim! gave Holler an eight out of 10, calling Ray "a remarkably wise and generous songwriter" who is "backed by a versatile band". [2]

Lucinda Gayle Williams is an American singer-songwriter and a solo guitarist. She recorded her first two albums: Ramblin' on My Mind (1979) and Happy Woman Blues (1980), in a traditional country and blues style that received critical praise but little public or radio attention. In 1988, she released her third album, Lucinda Williams, to widespread critical acclaim. Widely regarded as "an Americana classic", the album also features "Passionate Kisses", a song later recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter for her 1992 album Come On Come On, which garnered Williams her first Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1994. Known for working slowly, Williams released her fourth album; Sweet Old World, four years later in 1992. Sweet Old World was met with further critical acclaim, and was voted the 11th best album of 1992 in The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop, an annual poll of prominent music critics. Robert Christgau, the poll's creator, ranked it 6th on his own year-end list, later writing that the album, as well as Lucinda Williams, were "gorgeous, flawless, brilliant".
