The Lost Trailers gain traction
Thursday, June 5, 2008 – The Lost Trailers gained some chart traction with "Holler Back" and now their second album, also entitled "Holler Back," will be out Aug. 26. Lead singer Ryder Lee and writer/guitarist Stokes Nielson formed the band in high school, and Willie Nelson's annual Fourth of July picnic in 2001 was the launching pad for the Holler Back Boys. Along the way, they've had three equipment trailers stolen (hence the name) but did a lot of touring. They signed to BNA Records and recorded their self-titled debut in 2006. Brett Beavers (Dierks Bentley) produced the second album.

When The Lost Trailer's singer Ryder Lee states emphatically, "I'm a country man," within the song of the same name, he's expressing regional rather than musical roots. This five-piece group may rock harder than most traditional country acts, but they aren't tough enough to compete with the alternative fury of either Drive-By Truckers or My Morning Jacket. Instead, they raise a little guitar-y dust via "Dixie Boy Special," and then remind you of Steve ...
