Butcher Holler: A Tribute to Loretta Lynn is a 2010 studio album by singer-songwriter Eilen Jewell and her band, appearing on the album artwork billed as Butcher Holler. The album was released on the Signature Sounds label with recording and mixing by Chris Rival.
Jewell presented a tribute album to Loretta Lynn in part by renaming her band "Butcher Holler" after the Kentucky mountain valley community where Lynn was raised, and which she mentioned in her signature song "Coal Miner's Daughter". Writing in Country Standard Time, reviewer C. Eric Banister noted the late-1960s to early-1970s timeframe of the songs when released by Lynn:
The song selection is a great cross-section of songs all written (with the exception of one co-write) by Lynn in one of her most creatively fertile periods. As an Eilen Jewell album, this tribute stands well with other albums in her catalog. As a tribute to Loretta Lynn, Jewell has hit a grand slam and hopefully it will draw more listeners to the back catalog of both artists.
