“Produced by Butch Walker, it’s a rollicking affair that weds the sisters’ stunning harmonies with the sounds of classic ’70s country.” – No Depression
“The energy of HOLLER is contagious and at just 35 minutes, nothing is extended past its breaking point. Don’t try to resist pushing play again after the last tune ends. That’s the true test of an album’s excellence, one The Watson Twins pass easily.” – Holler
“… he [Butch Walker} amps up The Watson Twins’ unique sound, a blend of Americana, Honky Tonk and folk, marking their best album to date.” – Glide
“Striking a delicate balance between vulnerability and empowerment, the track [“Holler”] tells a tale that draws listeners in.” – mxdwn
