Hillbilly Bone is the second extended play, and seventh studio release overall, by American country music singer Blake Shelton. It was released on March 2, 2010 via Warner Bros. Records Nashville. The producer is Scott Hendricks, who worked with Shelton on his 2008 album Startin' Fires.
The album's title track, which features fellow country artist Trace Adkins, was released in October 2009 as the lead-off single. One month prior to the EP's release, this song reached the country Top 10. The track "Kiss My Country Ass" was co-written and previously released by Rhett Akins.[2] Shelton wrote the song "Delilah" about his girlfriend Miranda Lambert's pet dog.
Shelton told Country Weekly magazine that this project is part of an experiment to release three extended plays a year, so that he can offer his fans more material per year "for a bargain price."
Hillbilly Bone debuted at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Top Country Albums and #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 71,000 copies in its first week of release.
