Biography

Comprised of a trio of seasoned professional musicians, BlackHawk became one of the most successful new country groups of the mid-'90s, scoring a string of Top Ten hits from their first two albums. Featuring Henry Paul (lead vocals, mandolin), Van Stephenson (guitar, vocals), and Dave Robbins (keyboards, vocals), the band formed in the early '90s, releasing its first single, "Goodbye Says It All," on Arista Records in late 1993. "Goodbye Says It All" sailed to number one, quickly followed in 1994 by the number two "Every Once in a While," the number nine "I Sure Can Smell the Rain," the number ten "Wherever You Go," and the band's eponymous debut album, which would eventually go platinum. Strong Enough, BlackHawk's second album, was released in the fall of 1995 and was equally successful, spawning the hit singles "I'm Not Strong Enough to Say No," "Like There Ain't No Yesterday," "Almost a Memory Now," and "King of the World." Gravity | Love followed in 1997, with Sky's The Limit appearing a year later. After just four albums, BlackHawk issued its first hits collection in mid-2000. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    Lyrics
    It's another back-door sneakin' in
    Where you been midnight?
    Quiet as a mack truck, lots-a luck
    Thinkin' up an alibi
    But every light in the house is on

    Lyrics
    When the moon is bright on a Saturday night
    There's a thousand stars in the sky
    On a winding road her memory flows
    She'll face the fact, she wants to go back
    She opens her heart to an old memory

    Lyrics
    The sign says, "Do Not Touch", you're out of bounds
    You're forbidden fruit, don't come around
    It says don't make plans 'cause on your hand
    Is a promise made to another man
    'Cause when you're around my defenses go down
    I'm Not Strong Enough to Say No - (4:45)  -  3,026 plays

    Lyrics
    She hasn't done a thing that really has to mean she's going anywhere
    I haven't seen it showing in her eyes but I swear it must be there
    I don't know why I feel it so strong but I feel it just the same
    I can't see a single storm cloud in the sky but I sure can smell the rain
    She'd still say 'I love you' if I ask but she never volunteers
    I Sure Can Smell The Rain - (4:28)  -  1,971 plays

    Lyrics
    My old friend lives up in the mountains
    He flew up there to paint the world
    He says, "Even though interpretation's what I count on
    This little picture to me seems blur
    Hard lines and the shadows come easy
    That's Just About Right - (9:47)  -  1,335 plays
