In 1970, having made minor progress as a musician, he was invited to a cabin in Gold Hill that was owned by songwriter Steve Fromholtz. There, he met the musicians John Cable and Richard Dean. Soon, Cable and Pyle joined forces in the five-piece band Colours, with Pyle as a bass player.

Pyle's vocal abilities and songwriting talents made him well known in country music songwriting circles. Pyle wrote "Cadillac Cowboy" for Chris LeDoux (it appeared on LeDoux’s 1988 album Chris LeDoux and the Saddle Boogie Band). He also wrote Jerry Jeff Walker's "Jaded Lover" (which appeared on Walker's 1975 album Ridin' High). During his career, Pyle wrote songs recorded by John Denver, Suzy Bogguss, Gary P. Nunn, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Owen Temple. He also made numerous appearances on radio and television over the years to include Colorado Public Radio and Austin City Limits.

In January 2015, Chuck Pyle released his last album, Cover Stories. It is a collection of 12 songs from lesser-known songwriters he admired, Hayes Carll, Lynn Miles, and Walt Wilkins, Pete & Lou Berryman's among others. On the album, Pyle was accompanied by Gordon Burt on fiddle and Don Richmond on steel guitar, dobro and mandolin.

Nevertheless, Chuck Pyle never gained widespread acclaim. He only had a minor chart success in 1985 with "Drifter’s Wind" taken from his album Drifter’s Wind. The song reached #60 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. Other self-produced albums followed in the years after, Endless Sky, Camel Rock, Affected By The Moon.

Pyle also composed and sang the theme to Rocky Mountain PBS's long running documentary series The Spirit of Colorado.
