These two songs, Testimony and Sweet Fire of Love, are on his first solo album, which I think came out in 1987. Great album and those are two wonderful songs. Testimony is credited to Robertson alone but Sweet Fire of Love was co-written with U2. Sweet Fire SERIOUSLY sounds like a U2 song--it is just U2 playing the music and Bono kind of dueting and singing backup with Robertson. However, Testimony, which has more musicians on it besides U2, is a better song, I'm pretty sure. A real stomper. I was listening to it the other day and noticed a certain resemblance in Larry's drumming to the drumming on Sunday Bloody Sunday.
Robbie Robertson is probably best known for being in The Band. I like his solo stuff. There are probably more people in the States who have heard of him now since he played at the Olympic opening ceremonies. I don't really know how well known he was before, as a Canadian. Anyway, I would highly recommend you check out the album (it's just called Robbie Robertson)--it's excellent besides those two songs as well.

Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
