Trailer Choir was founded in 2006 by Vinny Hickerson, Crystal Hoyt and Mark Fortney, who are respectively known as Big Vinny, Crystal and Butter. The trio signed to Show Dog Nashville, a label owned by Toby Keith, in 2008. Its first recording for Show Dog was the track "Off the Hillbilly Hook", which was included in the soundtrack to the 2008 film Beer for My Horses, in which Toby Keith starred.
