"Every Acre sounds like a classic singer/songwriter session of the 1970s, only filtered through the heart and mind of a woman living in the 2020s with her own stories to tell about isolation, grief, survival, need, and all the stuff of grown-up lives. McEntire also happens to possess a voice that suggests she could be Dolly Parton's niece who moved to the big city, lacking Parton's sweetness but doubling down on her strength and unflinching honesty".
