Not quite up to standard.......2005-09-19

As an old fan of the band I have enjoyed listening to the
CD, but to get the best of Restless Heart, you absolutely have to go back to the old albums. The spark is not quite there anymore, Sorry!

Restlessly Irresistible .......2005-02-19

Prime Cuts: Every Fire, And More, Down the Road

Ever since its genesis, country music has always given articulation to the plebian. However, with the demise and/or lack of product from proletarian advocates such as Alabama, Shenandoah, Pirates of the Mississippi and Confederate Railroad, the voice of the everyday blue collar has been gagged. Kudos are in order to Koch Records for the foresight in signing one of the torchbearers of southern country Restless Heart. Déjà vu moments abound on "Still Restless:" even though it's been almost a dozen years since their last full length studio CD, everything we have come to love about Restless Heart is here. The Eagles-like harmonies, the propulsive 70s-tilted country rock anthems and most tellingly those story songs steeped with the concerns of southern living are all here in gregarious proportions. Larry Stewart, who has left the group for a moderately successful solo career yielding the top 20 hit "Alright Already," once again fronts the group and hits his stride in providing those engaging tenor dripped with those celebrated southern drawl.

Easily, the prized moment belongs to the ardent Mac McAnally penned ballad "Down the Road." Glazed with its southern charm, "Down the Road" tells the story of a parents' concern over the suitability of their future son-in-law in those "meet-the-parents" scenarios. Lines such as: "Mama wants to know if he's wash in the blood or the water/Daddy wants to know if he makes enough to take his daughter" are sure to bring smiles. As a footnote, Stewart in his solo endeavor had also cut this track, so has writer and producer McAnally. Similarly lacerating is "Every Fire," a John Scott Sherrill and Cathy Majeski ballad, this time with the protagonist at the throes of a breakup trying desperately to extinguish every flame of romance. Deftly written punctuated with heartfelt sentiments, "Every Fire" ranks loftily as other Restless Heart classics such as "A Tender Lie" and "(Mind Over) Matters of the Heart." Stewart does get romantic on his own composition "And More," a piano-based love song that is sure to woo the amorous.

Country radio, thus far, has picked up "Find My Way to You" and has already churned it into a top 40 hit. With its pulsating beat, its keening fiddling, and its sing-a-long melody, "Find My Way to You" bears all the marks of a Restless Heart hit. Perhaps a little less palpable is the bluesy "Looking Back" (the second of three Mac McAnally compositions). "Looking Back" with its rollicking piano and haunting harmonies is also a delight.

However, there are a few perfunctory fillers that are veering on the bromidic side. "What We Know Now," "Yesterday's News" and "The Night Before" are all average pop-country numbers with a late 80s/early 90s feel, deftly performed, yet they are not too memorable. However, unlike many country groups which have adulterated themselves to the banal bandwagon of meaningless clutter, Restless Heart still returns to their first dance: solidly penned pop-country offerings that tell indelible stories of the working man.

Still Restless after all these years.......2004-11-22

"Still Restless" is a must have for any music lover. Whether you listen to country, rock, or pop. There is such a variety of music on this CD that everyone will have at least one song they will fall in love with. The harmonies as always with these guys is untouchable. You have songs that will make you get up out of your chair and dance, some that will make you smile, some that really make you think...and yet others that may make you cry, or smile at that special love that you share with your significant other. Each and every time you listen, and I promise it will be over and over, you hear something a little different. Enjoy the best group ever in their reunion and if you like this CD, there are several others out there you can go back and purchase.

AWESOME Return to the Music Scene.......2004-11-14

The past 15 years have been well worth the wait for my absolute favorite band on earth to reunite and start making music again! I LOVE this new album. Their harmonies are better than ever. It is tough to choose a favorite song on the album, as I like them all. If I absolutely had to choose a favorite though, it would be Looking Back. It's got the old Restless Heart sound, mixed with a bit of the new. It's awesome! I would highly recommend this album to all the die-hard Restless Heart fans, as well as those who have never listened to them before. I assure this album will reunite old fans and introduce many new ones to the best band on earth!

Fantastic Comeback Album.......2004-11-10

The full band, all five members, are back together and sounding as great as ever. Their harmonies are unbeatable. The songs range from your traditional country sounding songs such as 'Down the Road' and 'Every Fire' to the more upbeat songs such as 'Makin' Hay', 'Same Boat Now' (a great feel good Patriotic tune) and 'Yesterday's News'. The remake of the Beatles tune 'The Night Before' is phenomenal and they pull it off very well, even sounding considerably like the Fab Five.

'Looking Back' and 'Feel My Way to You' could defintely be crossover Pop hits. Larry Stewart's vocals shine on 'What We Know Now' and 'And More'.

You will be very pleased with this album. The great Restless Heart is back and better than ever!!
