Detailed Description

This captivating 1976 acoustic album by Scott Key transports listeners to the secluded, introspective landscapes of Colorado, where it was self-recorded with raw authenticity. Marked by stunning fingerstyle guitar, textured bottleneck slide, and atmospheric drones, Key’s sound evokes the solitary artistry of John Fahey and Leo Kottke while carving out a style unmistakably his own. Rooted in a rock background, Key’s unique approach brings a dynamic, almost cinematic feel to his compositions, blending rich tones and subtle dissonances that conjure a brooding, reflective mood.

The title track, "This Forest and the Sea," is a haunting, effects-laden journey that stretches almost 11 minutes, immersing listeners in an exploration of existential themes and cultural critique. Key's introspective vision comes through in his rare, shadowy lyrics, which cast a satirical, dark lens on society’s superficiality and detachment from nature. This is music as both a meditation and a statement, inviting the listener to look deeper within.

Reissued in a deluxe 180-gram vinyl format, this edition enriches the experience with insightful liner notes penned by Key himself, along with personal photos and the evocative poem that inspired the title track. Thoughtfully produced on FSC recycled paper, this release honors the environmental ethos of the album. A rare, almost-forgotten treasure, This Forest and the Sea stands as a powerful work of loner folk and psych—an album to savor alongside classics by artists like Robbie Basho and Phil Yost. For those seeking acoustic introspection and a genuine voice, Scott Key’s masterpiece offers an immersive and rewarding experience.
