  • Doesn't this song bring back memories? Van Stevenson from Blackhawk helped to write the song about a girl he met in Texas that he apparently couldn't forget. If she only knew her eyes would help send Restless Heart to the top of the charts in 1988!

    The “Eagles” of country music. Hands down, the best country band ever.

      Eagles “New Kid in Town” contains the lyric “Restless Heart”. Always wondered if that’s where the band found their name.

      Yes, you are correct. I have read where diamond Rio, Alabama, little Texas, Lonestar, Blackhawk, and a few others are comparable with restless heart ❤️. That is not true. While those other bands I mentioned are very good country bands they do not hold a candle to Restless Heart vocally. Larry Stewart, Paul Gregg and John Ditrich are on another level when it comes to harmonies and vocals. I have never heard a band get compared to the Eagles more than Restless Heart and there is a reason for that.

    • @David-qi1ys
      @David-qi1ys 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Larry Stewart, lead singer of the band, diva'd out and left for a failure of a solo career in the early 90's. With the notable exception of "When she cries," the hits dried up. That's the reason.
      BarneeFife is just leaning on old man tropes.

    I keep a USB in my car with several RH albums and several of Diamond Rio, Rascal Flatts The Buffalo Club and others that I sing parts with as I drive to gigs to warm up with. Certain parts of many of Restless Heart's arrangements have such a wide range that it's perfect for running through parts from low to high and Larry's voice sits in a very comfortable range to sing along without jumping into falsetto. I had the pleasure of being in bands that opened for RH and Diamond Rio on several occasions.

      Paul Gregg is the man with the beanie on his head. Yes, he is an original member dating back to 1983 when the band first got together. He's the bass the player and sings those incredible high harmonies above Larry's lead vocal. He sang the "Where did I go wrong" part on the album as well. In fact, Paul is the distinctive high parts on all the albums that Restless Heart put out. John Ditrich is the drummer and lead vocalist of "When She Cries" and "Tell Me What You Dream" which were two incredible #1 hits for this amazing band. However, Paul Gregg is the best harmonizer in the band and probably in all of Nashville, Tennessee. Restless Heart is

    Larry...great to catch this video and your stripped down versions of some of your songs. Big fan. I went to see a concert in Vancouver, and much to my disappointment, just that week you & the band had parted ways. Glad to see you back in the room together. Stunning song! ...I burned the grooves right of the LP years ago! It always (and still does) left my heart both empty & full at the same time. I think there is a songwriting standard here that ought to be a benchmark för those pursuing the 'show, don't tell' angle. I look forward to hearing more!
