Mending Fences by Gary Cornelius

"Mending Fences is the first release by this fine acoustic singer/songwriter on his own label One Man Clapping Records. Great folk/country songs with some fine acoustic accompaniment on mandolin, dobro, and steel guitar. Highly Recommended!"

Clemens Bodos Friedrichs, Music Network Bremen, Germany

"Mending Fences is a strong debut package with interesting material. Fine support on vocal harmony from Liz Carson & Megon McDonough."

Kerry Dexter, Dirty Linen Magazine

"Gary Cornelius' music suggests what Hank Williams would have sounded like if he'd been raised on the music of Neil Young."
Geoff Gustafson, Chicago fan

"Mending Fences is an excellent recording. Beautiful songwriting, great production, and beautiful harmony vocals...This is one of those recordings that you can hear again and again without turning it off."
Raymond Swennen, On the Road, Radio ATL 105.9, Bree, Belgium

On this debut, Gary Cornelius demonstrates his craft as a top-notch singer-songwriter with twelve folk/country songs that are characterized by unforgettable melodies and unmistakable lyrical power. From the rollicking, bluegrass tinged "Everyone Will Remember" that chronicles a bank robbery to the beautiful ballad "The Borderline" and the footstomping country rocker "Friday Nights", Gary delivers a musical novel that your memory will not put down.
