Duo Country US formé en 1980 et composé de Bob Corbin (né le 9
Avril 1951 à Butler (Pennsylvanie)) et David Hanner (né le 22 Février 1949 à
Kittanning (Pennsylvanie)).
Bob Corbin and David
Hanner met in high school, and began writing songs together after seeing the
Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. The young musicians cut an album for Jubilee,
but it went nowhere. It wasn't until college that the duo began to have some
real success. Corbin and Hanner formed the rock band Gravel, and began gigging
throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. But while the successful bar
band recorded a few singles for Columbia, Gravel was never more than a regional
phenomenon. In 1979, Gravel became the Corbin/Hanner Band and began to focus on
a country-rock sound. They also added keyboardist Al Snyder, bassist Kip Paxton,
and drummer Dave Freeland to the lineup. Over the next two years, the band
scored four hits, including "Time Has Treated You Well," and recorded two albums
for the Alfa label, Son of America (1980) and For the Sake of the Song (1981).
But after touring through 1984, Corbin and Hanner decided a hiatus was in order
and parted ways.
The duo regrouped in 1990 at the urging of Mercury Nashville president Harold
Shedd, became simply Corbin/Hanner, and were soon at work on new material for
the label. Black & White Photograph appeared in 1990; the release included five
songs from each songwriter, with Corbin leaning more toward rootsy rock and
Hanner on the 1960s pop of his youth. Just Another Hill appeared two years later
and featured numerous songs co-written by the duo. They returned in 1997 with a
live recording of a 1982 concert, and in 1998 dropped Every Stranger Has a
Story, the first release on their new Liddl' Red Hen imprint. The album produced
the title cut to
Kenny Rogers' 1999 comeback album, and featured a few minor hits for Corbin
and Hanner themselves. The songwriting team next focused on a few fan-friendly
releases. 2000's By Request featured re-recorded versions of 20 of the duo's
songs; 2002 saw the release of The Corbin/Hanner Band, which contained all 40
songs from the Alfa years, as well as both of the Mercury releases in their
entirety.
