Hungry Holler is the country & western side-project of The Minders‘ Rebecca Cole (we mentioned them waaaay back), and quite unexpectedly a glowing concert review has surfaced through the Guided By Voices mailing list.  Thanks to Chris for bringing this to our attention:

Closing the show was a country band called Hungry Holler featuring Rebecca Cole from the Minders (was she married to Martin?) [Yes! -Editor] and they did mostly cool covers like “Lukenbach Texas” and Jimmie Rodgers —she has a great country voice and was doin’ Loretta Lynn and everything else. Couple guys in her band sang some too but she was the star—guitar guy was doin’ some Sonic Youth leads that really only worked on one song for me–if he’d play it straight they could work the redneck bar circuit that lies just outside hipsterville. A Shins-ey indie band played in the middle and they were decent (the Wherewithals) –paul_c

You can find Hungry Holler on MySpace here, with a couple of tunes currently available.
