Born Robert Crosby Hoar in Sumpter, South Carolina, he wrote his first song at age 9 and had his first band, the Radiations, while still in fifth grade. Inspired by Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, and Paul Simon, Crosby wrote songs and performed with a three-piece combo in high school. While in college he began playing with the band Savannah in South Carolina nightclubs. He then founded the Rob Crosby Group and toured the Southeast. In 1974, the group broke up and Crosby moved to Nashville with his family; two former band members also moved there, and they and Crosby reteamed to play in local clubs. A year after getting a job as a staff writer at a small music publishing house, Crosby's 1985 song "She Told Me Yes" was a Top 30 hit for the group Chance. Soon others, including Lee Greenwood, began recording his songs. When not writing, Crosby earned extra money singing commercial jingles for radio and television. A performance at a songwriter's night hosted by the Nashville Entertainment Association led to a record deal, and in 1991, he released his debut album, Solid Ground, which contained three Top 20 singles, including "Love Will Bring Her Around." He wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on the album and garnered considerable critical acclaim for his sensitive, female-oriented lyrics. His second album, Another Time & Place (1992), did not do as well and Arista dropped him. In 1995, he resurfaced with Starting Now. (Biography by Sandra Brennan, AMG) NOTE: When CD's were first introduced, the manufacturers packaged them in the now-standard plastic jewel cases, but then put that CD and jewel case in a large, sealed cardboard box which everyone called the "Long Box." (Approximately 6" X 12") This was so the retailer could display the CD's, which seemed so little at the time, in the same display racks as the vinyl LP Records. Plus, the long box added a little security as it was harder to steal a large object than a small one. As the LP Records disappeared from stores, so did the CD long boxes. This new, hard to find CD is still sealed in the original long box!Songs include: Love Will Bring Her Around - 2:40 Working Woman - 3:04 She's a Natural - 3:18 Solid Ground - 3:28 The Woman in You - 3:41 Still Burnin' for You - 3:08 Somewhere Down the Line - 3:04 Good Ain't Good Enough - 2:41 (Nobody's Gonna) Hurt My Heart - 3:37 Once in a While - 3:23 Album notes: Personnel: Rob Crosby (vocals), Mike Severs, Greg Jennings (guitar), Pat Severs (steel guitar), Dennis Burnside (piano), Michael Lawler (synthesizer), Scott Kinsey, Willie Weeks (bass), Harry Stinson (drums, background vocals), Terry McMillan (percussion).
