Rootsscene review CREECH HOLLER
With Signs Following
This is the music of funeral processions and dirge-filled bereavements. Of sin. Of salvation. Of old termite infested boards standing stoically side-by-side for impromptu juke houses in the way back of hazy mountain hills, brimming with fresh shine. But be weary of mistakes because while this music embraces you lovingly with a cupped drone it also hits with a barrage of reckless abandon and whup ass; Hill Count... MORE

With Signs Following
(Self Released) If you were looking for the missing link between the hoedown and the black mass then look no further. Electrification of old folk songs rarely comes off, and half of this album is from 'traditional' sources; but panic ye not because Creech Holler are more the inbred country cousins of The Immortal Lee County Killers than they are the grandsons of Fairport Convention. That said 'The B... MORE

WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING - Label: 'Self-released '
- Genre: 'Alt/Country' - Release Date: '2007' Our Rating: 8 out of 10 Listening to the debut album, "With Signs Following", from East
Tennessee-based CREECH HOLLER , is a bit like being trapped on a long-haul flight with severe turbulence. Theoretically, you know you're not going to die, but it's a pretty damn scary experience all the same. Jeff Zentner (vocals, guitar), Christia... MORE

Creech Holler Men of Constant Sorrow Creech Holler is known for playing gothic country reminiscent of late night front porch sessions, sitting in creaky rocking chairs, drinking moonshine and singing about the devil and church. From the time you start playing their CD, With Signs Following, you feel catapulted straight into a scene of "Deliverance". There's an eeriness merging with an ethereal quality that is both terrifying and mystifying. The trio, composed... MORE

Creech Holler
With a sound that's part black magic and part reverent Southern evangelista, Murfreesboro-based Creech Holler plays to exorcise its own demons, but also to flaunt them in front of others, those who don't have the same gifts of darkness. The sound is frightening, but also liberating, in the same way that a good scare leaves you exhilarated and wanting more. With only drums, guitar, bass and the occasional tambourine, the trio conjures an entire history, and an ... MORE

Southern spirits saturate act's sound With its members divided between Murfreesboro and Asheville, N.C., Creech Holler claims the entire southern Appalachian region as its home base. The heritage of this area - as well as the Mississippi Delta - is reflected in the trio's music, which consists of both traditional mountain songs and original tracks in almost equal parts.
Describing its style as Southern Gothic, Creech Holler gives an ominous twist to a sound that has e... MORE

With Signs Following - Creech Holler (self-release) From the first distorted strains of the opener "Pretty Polly," you're put on notice that Creech Holler is a different kind of trip. The sound on their debut release is a grungy drama that revels in the gothic mystery of the south. The Murfreesboro trio's mix of originals and folk traditionals, combined with a sound both ethereal and raw, have the edge and danger of snake handlers in church or Civil War re-enacters us... MORE

There’s a long tradition of white rockers who claim to be “influenced” by the rural, black bluesmen of the pre-World War II era. In shorter supply are rockers who pay homage to the period’s white bluesmen. Creech Holler looks to change that. The trio — Jeff Zentner (vocals, clawhammer banjo, bottleneck guitar), Christian Brooks (drums, tambourine, foot stomps, vocals) and Kingsport native Joseph Campbell (bass, melodica, vocals) — sees white hillbilly musicians such as S...

"On their CD, With Signs Following, Creech Holler travels deep into Appalachians, deep into the American psyche, deep into the past and dig up traditional songs you've never heard of but you know are part of your heritage and channel them through a hard rock filter to transform them into something deep, gothic, and inspired. The only question is, inspired by what? What have these guys touched? Have these guys indeed been handling serpents and drinking poison? How else could t... MORE

“Creech Holler is the sound of sin and redemption of another time when such matters were taken as gospel and music was the stories that frightened children and set them on the path to righteousness. Like a ghost hillbilly band you hear playing from the bottom of that long dry water well, you know the one, it’s where that little Jackson girl drowned back in the 40’s. Creech Holler is both joyous and spooky in their particular brand of lonely gothic Americana. Twang says check ... MORE

“These guys take you to some serious, heavy places using the language, and sometimes, the literal songs of another era to illuminate our own. “Poor Ol’ Maddie” and “Black Mountain” are dark songs from the weird, old America that doesn’t exist much anymore in mainstream culture. This album reminds me of Snakefarm or Jim White, in that it both exhumes old forms and makes them new again. This is not easy listening, but if you want to understand how we got where we are, it is cer... MORE
