On the Widow's WalkThe White BuffaloAlbumGenre: RockDescription: Seventh studio album from The White Buffalo the touring/recording persona of Jake Smith a singer songwriter guitarist and teller of tales whose voice a timber-shakin' baritone seems fuelled by a greater truth. Of all the albums released under The White Buffalo banner to date this 11-tracker - a loosely-linked collection of dark thrills produced by Shooter Jennings who also provides piano and keys - is the most collaborative and organic. From the beginning Oregon-born Smith has wilfully side-stepped genre touching on a variety of musical threads - from Americana to punk from brooding folk to driving rock 'n' roll - whilst maintaining a strong signature style. His spontaneous delivery and narrative lyrics are at the heart of it all instilling the songs - effectively mini-movies - with a cinematic hand-crafted quality and this very much holds true for 'On the Widow's Walk'.
