In 2020, Minnesota musician Bret Hesla was inspired by the Land Stewardship Project’s soil health work (and conversations with farmers) to write and record a set of songs that honor people’s relationship with the ground beneath our feet and the importance of stewarding it via regenerative farming systems. Below you can listen to Bret and the band Six Feet Deep as they perform the 2022 release of four of these songs: “A Little Better,” “Dead Dirt’s Coming Back,” “The Boundless Earth,” and “Six Feet Deep.” Also, check out the first two songs from this effort — they were released in 2020 as music videos: “Got Cover Crops” and “Back to Soil.” Give these recordings a listen and if you’re interested in using them for an event or other purposes, contact Bret directly via his website.
1. My dead dirt’s come alive, just look and see
1. Native prairie, the soil thrived
