Billy Hill was a United States-based country ensemble established by vocalist/songwriter/guitarists Dennis Robbins, Bob DiPiero, and John Scott Sherrill, accompanied by Reno Kling on bass and Martin Parker on drums. Prior to this formation, Robbins performed with The Rockets, while Kling was a bassist for Steve Earle. Lead vocals were shared between Sherrill and Robbins, though the group credited their frontman role to an invented character named Billy Hill, complete with a fabricated backstory.

The group issued a single album through Reprise Records and achieved chart success with two singles on the Billboard country listings. Their highest-charting track, "Too Much Month at the End of the Money," reached number 25. Following their breakup in 1990, Robbins embarked on a solo path under Giant, while DiPiero and Sherrill continued their careers as songwriters.

In 2003, Marty Stuart recorded a rendition of "Too Much Month at the End of the Money" for his album Country Music, which attained position 54 on the Billboard country charts.
