Kelly is a special kind of artist, one that you really should listen to. There is a drive and ambition to his efforts that are rare. Not only does Kelly genuinely come off as if he's doing it because he loves it, but he is exceptionally talented as well. The songs are absolutely tight and yet interesting at the same time, a brilliant cd to put in the car and just drive ;-) It 's really beautiful cd I applaud him!!!
Pick up a copy of FUEL and draw your own conclusions. ;-)

A Happy-place vacation!
Reviewer: Kim Churko
Fuel grabbed and held my attention from start to finish. I could write about each individual song, like the driving rhythm of Someday, the sing-a-long melody of Little Imperfections, or the insightful lyrics of Buy Now Pay Later but I want to write about another aspect of the album. Great music from any era or genre has the ability to transport the listener to another dimension. Kelly's voice, and the songs in FUEL take you away from what is going on in your life for a brief period. It is like a happy-place vacation. Just close your eyes and turn up the volume.
Kelly is primed ... with FUEL.
Reviewer: Indie Islands eMagazine (click for website)
Our first pop/rock artist in our first pop/rock eMagazine issue - Kelly Pettit. We chose him cause he was super talented ... but FUEL is high octane. Kelly brings his pop rock style to the start line, takes off 0 - 60 in 5.2, and this album is sure to finish the quarter mile in record time, and then some! This is definitely a CD to add to your collection, and Kelly is an artist that is a "must - see" live show! Look for more on Kelly in our March 2007 Issue www.indieislands.com
No imperfections on this CD
Reviewer: Waratah Press
FUEL would have made great company when we drove into the Outback and wrote that book about you. Have loved all four CD's but FUEL has it all, clear vocals, great instrumental support, excellent mix from the studio. Buy it people. Talk About It. Above all, put it in your car.
Awesome CD!
Reviewer: Michele from Nanaimo
Love this CD! I put it in my walkman and go for a run. I get into a sort of trace, then before I know it I'm done my run. I just keep it playing anyway. Number 7 - Hard to breath is my favorite song. Buy it, it's worth it. Every song is cool.
Sunshine on CD
Reviewer: Michelle from Utah
I love the cheerful music on this cd! Kelly has a clean yet complex sound that really appeals to me. The tempo is perfect for walking with or working out with and you'll find it a constant on my ipod! The song "Little Imperfections" is a strong favorite for me. My 4 year old sings along to "Hard To Breath"! In these dreary days of winter Kelly's music brings a little bit of summer into my world-- driving with the top down!
Welcome to the Amazing Musical Talents of Mr Kelly Pettit!
Reviewer: Mac
Far from being one of those albums where each track sounds much like the last, with every song Kelly delivers another aspect of his diverse song writing abilities and musical skills. Prior to buying this CD I was a keen fan and being able to listen at leisure has given me a whole new respect for the man's gift. There's not a song I'd skip through, my surprise favourite being "Hard to breath", now there's a direction I didn't expect this Album to go! Do yourself a favour, don't hesitate. This'll be the best money you spend on music for the year!
Fuel : Ok, let’s “Talk about it” !!
Reviewer: Bluesbaby!
Not sure how I could top my friend Shannon’s review or Mark Clays for that matter but…… This album has 15 wonderfully diverse tracks. I am so glad I purchased it and makes me think how happy I am to have discovered Kelly Pettit. Love the pop/country feel. Love the inclusion of the hamonica violin, mandolin etc….what more can I say but Kelly is an artist to watch out for. Can’t wait for the next one, oh and while I am in a demanding mood I think a full Kelly Pettit Christmas album is called for……perhaps with some more deliciously evil tracks. All the best!
Kelly's C.D. is totally over the top!!!
Reviewer: Linda Thornton
I have had Kelly's cd for three weeks now and have listened to it repeatidly and have enjoyed it more every time. I love the song "Stone after Stone" along with " She's Just Like Summer". A nice vartiety of music, something for everyone. I would highly recommend it to all.
FUEL gives fuel to my day everytime I push play!
Reviewer: Garth Allan
I received FUEL a few days back and it's GREAT! Amazing song writing; Kelly Pettit is an incredible recording artist! Where can I get more of his music? Love the following tracks: Stone After Stone, Hard to Breath, Little Imperfections and She's Just Like Summer. The song that kicks off the album, Talk About It, is really good too. The CD is in my car and I can't stop listening.
Reviewer: Caroline Turner
I love to listen to this CD. I have had it now for about 2 weeks and right from the beginning I really enjoyed hearing it. I find myself singing along and tapping my feet and really enjoy the beat. All the songs are so differant. The variety is great and there is something for everyone. My kids love it too and yell at me from the back seat, " Put On Fuel Mom ". Our favorite songs are Stone After Stone, The World Is Turning, and Talk About It. Kelly is a very talented song writer and performer and this CD proves that. I wish him all the best !
Mmm. .added to my favorites!
Reviewer: Hagiwara of Niiharu, Japan
I am lucky to have found this CD!! I have been listening everyday in my car since the day I bought it. The variety of songs starts and ends my days easy. Buy now! It sure will be your favorite. Thank you Kelly!
何度聴いても素晴しい！
Reviewer: Hibiki Arai Japan
一枚のCDでこんなに楽しめたのは初めてです。ジャンルを問わない、魅力的な曲が満載です。どれが好き？と聞かれても迷ってしまいます。映像が心に浮かんでくる歌詞、心にすっと入ってきて、いつまでもそこに留まっているメロディー。私の宝物の一枚になりました。
Best album yet!!
Reviewer: Cory Churko
Wow! and I thought the last album was great. Kelly's music keeps getting better and better. Some very thoughtful and clever lyrics and catchy melodies. Lots of variety in tune selection. My favorite is Little Imperfections. This album went directly in my itunes collection. 16 songs? Amazing!
Love it, love it!
Reviewer: Cheryl from BC, Canada
Just the girl next door from BC here....just wanted to say that I love Kelly Pettit's new cd FUEL! Great lyrics - great music and Kelly's great voice! I really enjoy listening to the different styles of music and hearing the variety of instruments used on this cd. I've heard FUEL so many times already, I'm not sure which is my favourite song. Maybe Make it Hollywood or This is Life, or Talk About it or...well, you get the picture! You'd better grab a couple of Fuel cd's for christmas gifts like I did! And, that's my opinion. Love it!
Reviewer: Jen Alexander, Calgary, Alberta Canada
I have followed Kelly's music from the first album and I am impressed each time a new album is released. He is separated from others in this category by his unique, passionate delivery. FUEL is a fun, relatable, feel-good album. It's another great driving, sing along CD.
great music needs no description. Just push play and enjoy!
Reviewer: Shannon Ambrose (click for website)
With a very pleasing mix of pop and country, Kelly’s debut CD is a treasure and an excellent addition to any CD collection. Featuring collaborations with a host of talented artists, Fuel is a solid collection of 15 tracks guaranteed to please even the harshest critic. Kelly masterfully pulls off perfect country/pop cross over hits with tracks such as “World Is Turning”, “Stone After Stone” – with it’s hint of Celtic influence and wonderful flow - and “Sorry Ass” – showcasing harmonica and steel guitar giving it that “country flair” but with enough pop attitude to garner a slot on any air AC play list. I couldn’t help but get a Bob Dylan feel with “Makes Me Crazy”. Kelly’s vocals, lyrics and overall feel of the song it was easy to picture Kelly standing there ..flipping cue cards a-la Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues video. What has to be THE feel good song of the year, “Little Imperfections” has quickly become a favorite track for me. This sweet little pop song, with a quick tempo, happy upbeat lyrics and a piano adding to the melody will make you smile no matter how bad a day you may have had. Fuel gives you a blend of rockin’ tracks (“Talk About It” and “Someday”) to warm, heartfelt ballads (“Make It Hollywood”, “She’s Just Like Summer” and “Buy Now Pay Later”) to “This Is Life” with a cool jazzy feel. From start to finish, this is a CD that you will want to spin over and over again. Lay back, headphones on, the volume cranked, and let Kelly’s unquestionable talent take you away.
"FUEL" is fuel of your living.
Reviewer: Toru
This CD doesn't fail to live up to your expectation. "FUEL" is fuel of your living.
O CD do Kelly Pettit "FUEL (gasolina)" e universal
Reviewer: Vilma Takahashi from Brazil
Eu estava anciosa para ouvir este CD, adorei tudo a capa a voz do Kelly a melodia o conjunto todo e perfeito. Para quem gosta ou viajar este CD e uma necessidade, contagia e passa uma otima energia pra gente, voce nao vai se arrepender.
A wonderful collection of songs
Reviewer: Vadym Gruzyn from Kiev, UKRAINE.
This is a truly enjoyable collection of songs, very impressive! Great mix of lyrical, romantic sometimes and lively, energetic tracks. You can hear how much the musician has grown from the time of "...windshield". Keep up the good work! Looking forward to a new release soon.
Kelly Pettit Fuel. A GREAT CD
Reviewer: Mark Clay (click for website)
Once apon a time, albums were full of great songs from start to finish. You could just put the needle on at the beginning and walk away and enjoy it from the first note to the last big crash at the end of the last song. Fuel by Kelly Pettit is a throwback to those days before cds with 3 good songs and 7 tracks of mediocre filler became the norm. There are a variety of sounds. Songs like Talk About It and Someday really rock and I find myself cranking up the cd player in the car. They are those great driving songs I love. There are also melodic heartfelt songs like Buy Now Pay Later and Stone After Stone which are sad and warm and wonderful all at the same time. Kelly has included many of his talented friends on Fuel including Jerry Wong who's imput, contribution and production have made the sound very professional, slick and full. Listening in good headphones promises the listener a world of sound and cleverly arranged guitar, mandolin, harmonica and violin are just a few of the many instruments used throughout the journey through these songs. These all compliment the lyrics and vocals which come together with very good writing to make this one of my favorite cds of all time. I highly recommend buying this cd and it can be found right now at UBL.
