Happy Songs for the Apocalypse is an album that, true to its title, confronts today’s complex social issues with a critic’s eye, careful optimism, and a fusion of rock, blues, country, and folk." - American Songwriter Magazine "There is a treasure trove of splendid songs here and at times the album plays through like a selection of singles and their B-sides. Corne proves clearly here that he is comfortable on either side of the studio glass." - Winnipeg Free Press
