Kelly released his first studio album, On the Move, in 1985. His second album, Face to Face, was released in 1988. "In My Father's House," the first single from Kelly's third studio album, 1992's Divided Highway, was nominated for Single and SOCAN Song of the Year at the 1993 Canadian Country Music Association Awards.

A Pittance of Time

Kelly's most recent[when?] single, "A Pittance of Time", was released in 2003. The song inspired a musical production, Two Minutes of Silence - A Pittance of Time.[7] The song was motivated by an interaction Kelly observed at a drug store on November 11, 1999.[3]
