Robert Hill was born at a very early age, a small, naked male child in North Little Rock, Arkansas. As the story goes, whenever someone from the city of Little Rock, (on the other side of the Arkansas River), had something they wanted to get rid of, say, a car, a dog , or maybe an ex-wife or husband, they would drive it over the bridge to the NLR side and dump it. As a result of people depositing, particularly dogs, the town gained the distinguished nickname of “Dogtown”. It made the people proud.

Whether he was "asked" to leave the state by local officials, or left on his own accord, Hill moved to the Northeast, where he played with local NYC band, The Bluesicians, sharing the stage with numerous national acts, and revellers of all ages. Here he formed the first incarnation of the Robert Hill Band, performing exclusively his own material, and released the cleverly-titled debut cd, "Robert Hill", to excellent reviews. He says many of the songs are autobiograghical, just not necessarily about him.

He has played national festivals, including The Arkansas Blues & Heritage Festival, which attracts a weekend crowd of 60,000 people. He also has performed throughout Spain. He performs regularly around the NYC area, where he currently resides..

Sorry Rockinfish, personally I can't help you with this one since I don't have it and the original poster isn't active. Hopefully someone else can help you out or you could try asking for this album in the Basement.
