Collie began his career on MCA Records in 1989 after being discovered by label representatives. Tony Brown, then president of the label, helped Collie secure his contract. His debut album Hardin County Line was released in 1990, with Brown and Doug Johnson co producing. The album produced four singles: "Something With a Ring to It", "Looks Aren't Everything", the title track, and "Let Her Go", which was the highest charting of the four, at #18 on Hot Country Songs. Its B side, "Where There's Smoke", was later a Top 40 single for Archer/Park in 1994. His second album, Born and Raised in Black & White, produced Top 40 singles in "Calloused Hands" and "She's Never Comin' Back", while "It Don't Take a Lot" peaked at #70.

"There are some new and exciting projects coming up on the horizon that I look forward to debuting with the label."
