Always Near - A Romantic Collection is the second compilation album from American new-age pianist Kevin Kern and his first since 2002's More Than Words: The Best of Kevin Kern. As with his other albums, it is an album of instrumental songs. Unlike More Than Words, Always Near is not merely a "best-of" album, but a compilation of Kevin Kern songs considered most romantic, hence the title. Also, unlike More Than Words, there are no new songs on this album. It was released on September 16, 2014.[1]

The album takes songs from Kern's eight previous studio albums, not counting More Than Words, Enchanted Piano, or Christmas.

Liner Notes

An hour of poetic melodies unfolding tenderly, thoughtfully...some with a light layer of strings and touch of acoustic guitar, others speaking directly, without embellishment. Pure, beautiful, emotionally rich piano, suffused with heart and rendered with an ultra-refined touch.[2]
