Chanteur
Country US né Dennis Anthony Robbins en 1949 à Hazelwood (Caroline du Nord).
A slide
guitarist and former member of the Detroit blues-rock band the Rockets, Dennis
Robbins also performed with the country-songwriter supergroup Billy Hill; among
the songs he wrote were Garth
Brooks' "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House" and Shenandoah's "Church on
Cumberland Road." Robbins was born in Hazelwood, North Carolina, and grew up
listening to traditional bluegrass music as well as rock & roll music. He began
playing different styles of guitar music as a teen. Following high school, Robbins was
a U.S. Marine, and eventually moved to Detroit, where he played in different
bands before joining up with the Rockets as a slide guitar player. The band was
quite popular and opened for the likes of ZZ Top, Kiss, and Bob Seger. Tiring of
touring, Robbins returned to North Carolina and then moved to Nashville, where
in 1986 he released his debut solo album The First of Me. His lack of success
spurred Robbins to form Billy Hill, which broke up in 1990 after only one album.
Soon afterward, he became the first country artist to sign to Giant's new
country division. His first single for the label, "Home Sweet Home," became a
minor hit, and later appeared on the album Man with the Plan (1992).
