Return to album releases and touring

In 2015 the Boxmasters returned with the album ''Somewhere Down The Road'' released by 101 Ranch Records. Rolling Stone said "This sprawling double album, which amazingly doesn't feel ''Use Your Illusion'' bloated, finds him and the ace 'Masters — who play the Grand Ole Opry on August 18th — mixing country noir with bright jangle pop. One disc is all Americana gothic, while the other is ''Nuggets'' by way of Liverpool. "Always Lie," from the twangy half of the project, is Thornton devilishly sharing his trick for dealing with the press and ranks with some of country's most honest songwriting. (Or does it?)" Also in 2015 The Boxmasters released ''Providence'' on their website as a download only album. In 2016 The Boxmasters also released two albums, ''Boys and Girls...& The World'' and ''Tea Surfing'', on NDR Records.
