Started with a Song is the major label debut album by Canadian country music artist Brett Kissel. It was released on October 1, 2013 via Warner Music Canada.[2]

Started with a Song was nominated for Country Album of the Year at the 2014 Juno Awards.[3]

Critical reception

Amanda Ash of the Edmonton Journal gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "a wham-bam collection of 10 sweeping love songs and lively party anthems that leave you glossy-eyed and daydream drunk." Ash wrote that "his songs like to play hooky with pop punches and rock growls, making for a cross-genre record that will surely befriend a very large audience."[1]
