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:

Jewell donated a percentage of sales from the single to Planned Parenthood, tying the history of "The Pill" to modern women's health concerns:
