On the Widow's Walk is a 2020 album written and performed by Americana singer-songwriter the White Buffalo, and produced by Shooter Jennings.
[2]The recording on On the Widow's Walk was conducted in a live setting, with few retakes, a style which the White Buffalo lamented not having adopted earlier.
[1] Traveling along the East Coast of the United States and seeing widow's walks gave the White Buffalo the idea to make a concept album about water,[7] and the way it can be connected to sorrow and destruction.
[9] The White Buffalo described "Problem Solution" as a "song in two parts about mental states", saying "the first half, 'Problem', is about heartbreak and self-doubt when things are bleak and hopeless.
Rolling Stone called it a "majestic yin-and-yang composition", and argued that the usage of piano in the song's second half was characteristic of "A Day in the Life".
described the White Buffalo as an "interesting and eerily predictive lyricist", but were overall more critical, arguing that the album was "too introspective to actively rock".
