"Always" is the title track from Forest Ray's forthcoming 2022 album. This psychedelic folk rock jam blends acoustic fingerpicking, Rhodes piano and slide guitars. Always is the first single from the album, and is the first video single in a series to be released throughout 2022. It was self produced entirely analog, on a 24 track machine in Forest Ray's Seattle home-studio.

Anytime that's what I find x2
