Contents

On the advice of her longtime producer Bill Chambers, Britt sought to work for the first time with a new producer and worked with Ryan Hadlock. Britt said Hadlock's production style was very different to Chambers' and "[it] took some getting used to" saying "Ryan comes from a different background. Bill, at the end of the day is a total hillbilly, which I love. Ryan comes from a more folk-rock, pop background and had these ideas that I would never think of. He did things in a way I never knew you could do things... he was so different and it was something I had to get used to." [3]

Britt toured the album across Australian from May to October 2015. [3]

Reception

Chris Hamilton from No Depression gave the album 7 out of 10 saying "Drawing on a range of country styles from Americana to traditional, pop to rock, Catherine Britt has produced a strong collection of songs on her sixth album." adding "Vocally she can sound sweet and twangy like a younger Dolly Parton or rougher-edged like her contemporary Kasey Chambers. That range is what gives Boneshaker its personality and ensures it stands head and shoulders above much of the soulless country music purporting to represent the genre" [4]
