You Oughta Know By Now

With the success of Rachel Rachel's first album, founder Jennifer York decided that she could quit the band. The remaining members could see only one possible replacement for a female bass player: Robin Spurs, who had recently left The Choir. However, initially Spurs declined the group's offer, feeling that she was not ready to go back into music so quickly. Later, she accepted the position, saying that God had told her to get back into music with Rachel Rachel.
With a new band member ready to roll, the group released a second album, You Oughta Know by Now, in 1993. Again, this album was produced by Billy Smiley, and featured guest artists such as Mark Matheson, Blair Masters, Smiley, and Dann Huff. Before recording, Spurs left the band so York returned to add electric bass to the album. "Only Heaven Knows" (written by Smiley, Beltran, and Sterner) and "You'll Never Know" (written by Beltran) both became No. 1 songs, and greatly increased Rachel Rachel's popularity.
After releasing this album, Rachel Rachel spent seven months touring with WhiteHeart. However, apparently at the top of their career, Rachel Rachel disbanded. Brynn Beltran, keyboard player for the group, cited "creative differences" as part of the reasons for disbanding, explaining that because the group was based in California they were too far from the music scene in Nashville.
