“…Beautiful songs. Beautiful singing. A little cold steel string finger picking, some warm Sunday Hammond organ mixed in with a dollop of gooey electric piano. Hang in for the ending, there's a Marvin Gaye cover coming down like Sunday Morning. Damn, I can't get enough of this shit!…”
- Chuck Prophet“For as long as he's lived here, Curt Perkins has been one of Nashville's most gifted and intuitive singers. On his first solo album, Get Something Started, Perkins reasserts that position with confidence and grace.”
- Jason Wilkins - Nashville Rage"Curt, this is NASTY! … tracks are as tight as a size 32 on a size 50 waist. Incredible."
- Jimmy Mobile - Illville"Unlike some sensitive singer-songwriter types who lean toward melodrama, Curt Perkins keeps his inner diva in check on his solo debut, Get Something Started. Besides, with a voice as lovely as his, a little emoting is called for. His knack for teetering along the edge of falsetto, whether to confess or seduce, at times recalls the greats of Motown, at others Jeff Buckley. Like his sometime employer Josh Rouse, Perkins clearly loves early-..70s soul..a couple of tracks on the album, particularly ..Another Love Story,.. sound like they could have been outtakes from Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. (Perkins even covers the Gaye classic ..Where Are We Going?..) Other songs run the gamut from the dreamy pop of the title track to the sultry Brazilian rhythms of ..California,.. which gives Al Green's ..Tired of Being Alone.. a run for the title of Song Most Likely to Get You Laid.

- Jack Silverman - Nashville SceneGet Something Started, "a breezy R&B dream that channels Marvin Gaye, Brazil 66 and a host of other exotic influences" (Jack Silverman, Nashville Scene), is a rich package of sounds -- from bossa nova to Stax-era horns, from Donny Hathaway to Paul Weller's British blue-eyed soul. And it's the musical culmination of years worth of ideas, pursued between gigs as an in-demand touring musician and producer.
