Whalebone is the sixth studio release Marc Douglas Berardo. All songs were written by Berardo with the exception of "My Mistakes", which was co-written with Abbie Gardner of Red Molly, and "Silvermine Daydreamin'", which was written by Chris Berardo. John Apice from No Depression called it "a highly polished personal collection in the tradition of many clever songwriters of the past that forged songs like short stories."
