Cowsill worked and recorded with other groups before starting the Blue Shadows. After putting together some impressive numbers, the band signed with the major label Sony Music. In 1993, the Blue Shadows completed its debut album, On the Floor of Heaven. The full-length offering carries tracks like When Will the Heartache End, The Fool Is the Last One to Know, Coming on Strong, and A Thousand Times. During that same year, Spanier departed from the lineup. His spot was filled by a new bassist, Barry Muir.
In 1995, Blue Shadows recorded its second and last album, Lucky to Me. The sophomore release was not a failure, but shone a little dim in the light of the substantially successful debut. By the next year, the band had called it quits. Some of the members went on to perform as a group called the Sugar Beats, others went on to try a little solo work. ~ Charlotte Dillon, Rovi
