    The Blue Shadows from Vancouver, were a Juno Award-nominated alt-country band that existed between 1992 and 1996, releasing two albums in Canada on Sony Music. The origins of the group are referenced to Billy Cowsill and Elmar Spanier, who had been performing as The Billy Cowsill Band, playing traditional country songs. The group's first album, On The Floor of Heaven, released on Bumstead Records and distributed by Sony, was certified gold in Canada, for sales in excess of 50,000 copies. They also received a 1994 Juno award nomination as Best Country Group or Duo.

But I also have to mention guitarist Jeffrey Hatcher, who wrote this beautiful song. There's also a fine version of the song on Cross Our Hearts, the sole album by Jeffrey Hatcher and the Big Beat, from around 1987.

    When I found out why Billy was no longer part of the Cowsills my first thought was that he must have been absolutely devastated and lonely, despite being married. Billy raised those kids. Billy and Bob were prolific writers by the time Billy was 15. Bud certainly didn't raise them. Barbara wasn't the best at Motherhood either. So, the four oldest boys found a way to get out of the house. A way that they were a natural at - they sang and played instruments.
    Bud was a bully and the first time that anyone around these kids saw bruises or signs of abuse, the police should have been called.
