For her third album, Rattlin’ Bones, Bronwyn, a Grammy-winning Americana/bluegrass artist and two-time IBMA “Fiddle Player of the Year,” decided to purposely leave her comfort zone and dive headfirst into a new, unknown realm of possibility for the musician — songwriting.

With her former group, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, dissolving amicably last year, the window of opportunity opened up for Bronwyn to pursue her own artistic endeavors, under the bright stage lights and in the recording booth. On Rattlin’ Bones, she has dug deep within to finally uncover and embrace her unique talents and sonic tones.

Co-produced by Bronwyn and Brent Truitt (The SteelDrivers) at Truitt’s Nashville studio, and also at the Tractor Shed in nearby Goodlettsville, Rattlin’ Bones features some of Music City’s finest: dobroist Jerry Douglas, guitarist Bryan Sutton, mandolinist Harry Clark, bassists Dennis Crouch and Jeff Picker, banjoist Wes Corbett, drummer Miles Miller, and Bronwyn’s former Golden Highway bandmate, Dominick Leslie, all atop members of her touring group.

The album also features a duet with Nashville’s underground country music hero Timbo, and harmonies provided by songwriting great, Darrell Scott, among others.
