Restless Heart is a country pop band originally formed as a studio band to record demos. The members have diverse musical backgrounds, and developed a sound that has been compared to The Eagles.

History

Nashville record producer Tim DuBois created the band in 1984 to record demos of songs that DuBois had written. The still unnamed band was soon signed to RCA Records' Nashville division. Verlon Thompson left the band before even going into the studio to record the first album. He was replaced by Larry Stewart, who had known Dave Innis when both had attended Belmont University. The band named themselves after a song on their first album.

After recording two new tracks for their first greatest-hits compilation, 1991's The Best of Restless Heart, Larry Stewart left the band to pursue a solo career, which resulted in three albums and a Top 10 country hit, "Alright Already." Keyboardist Dave Innis also left the band in 1993 after the success of "When She Cries." The next album, 1994's Matters of the Heart, was largely ignored by radio, and the remaining three members disbanded by 1996. Greg Jennings joined Vince Gill's band, John Dittrich joined the band Buffalo Club (which enjoyed one-hit-wonder country success in early 1997 with the Top 10 "If She Don't Love You"), and Paul Gregg apparently returned to demo work. The original members (except Dave Innis) briefly reunited to record a Christmas song and three new tracks for their second greatest-hits compilation in 1998, simply titled, Greatest Hits. After a tour with Vince Gill, Restless Heart again disbanded. < -- Please excuse the mess - this is a work in progress. ...
