The Blue Shadows
Formed by Billy Cowsill (yes, of that Cowsill family), Vancouver band the Blue Shadows' tenure was brief - they called it quits after releasing two albums in the early 1990s - but they came up with a sound like no one else had. The band described it as "Hank goes to the Cavern Club," and while that captures its essence, it doesn't fully account for their marvelous, ever-preseent harmonies, which channeled the western side of the Everly Brothers. It was country-pop in the finest sense of the term. Northern song: "Let the Cowboys Ride"
