Corbin/Hanner, formerly The Corbin/Hanner Band, was an American country music duo consisting of singer-songwriters Bob Corbin and David Hanner. The two, natives of Ford City, Pennsylvania, began their musical collaboration in high school. The duo's members initially played in a country rock band called Gravel, which performed throughout Pennsylvania and West Virginia.[1] Eventually, Gravel was reformed as The Corbin/Hanner Band, which included Corbin and Hanner as lead vocalists and guitarists, along with Al Snyder (keyboards), Kip Paxton (bass guitar), and Dave Freeland (drums). Under this lineup, they would record two albums for Alfa Records, in addition to charting several singles on the Billboard country music charts. The band's members parted ways in 1984.[1]

Bob Corbin and David Hanner reunited in 1990; that year, they were signed to Mercury Records as a duo. Two additional albums — 1990's Black & White Photograph and 1992's Just Another Hill — were released on Mercury, as were additional chart singles. A live album originally recorded in 1982 was released in 1997, followed by 1998's Every Stranger Has a Story (the title track of which was later recorded by Kenny Rogers[1]), 1999's By Request, and Originals in 2000.
