Mark Collie: Hardin County Line (MCA MCAC 42333)
John Morthland, Country Music, July 1990
AT FIRST I thought Mark Collie's often-thin voice might prove a drawback, that he'd get tedious with time because there just wasn't enough there to put too many different songs across. Instead, it grew on me. It's an ideal vehicle for conveying the wistful emotions behind so many of his songs. Here is a man who knows a thing or two about loss.
