H.C. McEntire’s new album “Every Acre” is a powerful and evocative exploration of themes surrounding grief, loss, and the connection between land and loved ones. McEntire’s music is deeply rooted in the physical landscape of her home state of North Carolina and her emotional landscape, which is calm and turbulent at times. The process of naming, both in the physical sense of claiming land and in the emotional sense of claiming self, is a recurrent theme throughout the album. McEntire’s powerful and emotive voice brings these themes to life in a hauntingly beautiful collection of songs that will resonate with listeners deeply and personally. The album is a powerful reminder of how we are all tethered to the land and to our own internal emotional landscape.
