By 1997, Little Texas had disbanded, and Rushlow began pursuing a solo career. In 2001, he released his eponymous debut solo album on Atlantic (later reissued as Crazy Life on Scream Recordings), which featured the number eight Top 40 Billboard single "She Misses Him." Rushlow then paired with his cousin, guitarist/vocalist Doni Harris, forming the band Rushlow and releasing the album Right Now in 2003. The cousins next formed the duo Rushlow Harris and released the singles "That's So You" and "Bagpipes Cryin'" for Toby Keith's Show Dog Nashville label in 2006.
After parting ways with Harris, Rushlow released the Ian Eskelin-produced Christian pop album Unfinished Symphony in 2011. In 2014, he returned with the holiday-themed big-band album Classic Christmas. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
