One holler in particular comes to mind when everyone mentions this region. Hundreds artists travel from all over each year to catch a glimpse of Butcher Holler, the home of Loretta Lynn and birthplace of Crystal Gale. However, when traveling to the holler, it's not Loretta or Crystal that you'll meet, it's their brother, Herman Webb. I think living here, when I was a kid, was probably the best part of my life in one sense or the way. We didn't have nothing. We didn't seem like we needed anything. You know what I mean? If you had a roof over your head and something to eat, shoes and clothes, that was not all you needed. Because we didn't go to much of a schoolhouse down there. We could stay in here all winter and see Pinesville. Pinesville was kind of a treat when you got to go over there, you know? And Herman says since there wasn't much to do in Butcher Holler, they did everything they could to entertain themselves, like learn to play music. Loretta, she was raised here, you know? And she was just another kid. I mean, you know, as far as that goes, some people think she was something special, but she wasn't. She was, you know, just like the rest of us. And we didn't know. Some people wonder how we learned to play music, you know? We could play an old flat-top guitar and stuff, you know? And in favor of the guitar and the holler, people barred it backwards and fards and beat on it, you know? And we didn't do no more picking than any other family in the holler. I had a band of mine. I played music up there, and I worked with Honeywells. I played music every weekend. I might have had a band before she did. I backed her and J. Lee. J. Lee was a brother of mine. He recorded, same time Loretta did, on Decor Record. And he died 19-year-old with pancreatous cancer, but him and her was started out on the road traveling with herself. And my band, I belong to a music union. I've married Indiana, and my band got to back them and tipped an Indiana. Many people have come and gone out of Butcherholler, but even when Herman leaves, he always comes back. I said, hello's it been since you've been down home, but he said, I don't give a damn if I ever see that place again. And I said, I said, you've got a problem. That's all I told him. You know, I couldn't forget it, you know? Because we played in these, you know, it was just, to me it seemed like it was good.
