SO GOOD!| FIRST TIME HEARING Restless Heart - The Bluest Eyes In Texas REACTION

[@heckrules1]

"I'll Still be Loving You" is another great song by Restless Heart!

[@stephenhernandez7609]

Yes!!!!

[@kimberlyneely4029]

For sure, a must listen!!

[@Jen-in-Texas]

Great one!

[@John_Locke_108]

Absolutely!

[@sherrihimes7357]

Yes!!!!

[@StarGeezerTim]

Great band, terribly underrated for their talent and rich sound. I think their biggest charting song was "When She Cries" and it's worth a listen.

[@MultiEviscerator]

That is a great one, but "Tell Me What You Dream at Night" hit #1 on the Adult Contemporary charts. It also had the drummer John Dittrich on lead vocals.

[@jeffwestcott6902]

@@MultiEviscerator So did When She cries. Larry Stewart, the original lead vocalist of the band, left for a solo career by then. "I'll Still Be Loving You" was the biggest hit they had with Larry Stewart in the band.

[@jeffwestcott6902]

also important to remember that after Larry left the band, Restless Heart recorded When She Cries, Tell Me What You Dream, etc, with the drummer singing lead, and those songs crossed over to pop and rock charts - something they hadn't done before then.

[@MorrisB1971]

​​@@jeffwestcott6902Actually "I'll Still Be Loving You" with Larry was a big top 40 crossover hit in Spring Summer 1987. It hit #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart and top 25 in pop airplay & #33 on the pop chart

[@MultiEviscerator]

@@jeffwestcott6902 I have wondered what Larry thought when he left, and the group not only carried on without him, but had bigger hits with the drummer John Dittrich on lead vocals.

[@timmaples5734]

OMG! So glad you reacted to Restless Heart. One of the most underrated groups mainly because Alabama dominated the 80s and 90s. They did have 6 #1s and many charted hits. My favorites "A Tender Lie", "Why Does it Have to be (Wrong or Right)", "Fast Moving Train", "I'll Still be Loving You", "That Rock Won't Roll", "Big Dreams in a Small Town", and "Dancy's Dream", "When She Cries" just to get started....

[@beckyhudson7798]

As a huge Alabama fan, I totally agree with you. Restless Heart and Sawyer Brown never got the recognition they deserved because Alabama dominated the ‘80’s. Another band I’d put in the same category is The Shooters.

[@js3599]

I suggest checking out Sawyer Brown... You will LOVE lead singer Mark Miller's voice... He is one of those performers that just can't stop moving... They are quite versatile band, so they offer a variety of music types... They had a huge list of hits spanning the '80s and '90s... All of them are great... I suggest one of their earlier hits, "Some Girls Do"...

[@tinagoff3573]

Yes 🙌 Sawyer Brown is sooo good! ❤

[@belle-rp2zj]

Love Sawyer Brown. If you want up beat chec out Shaking

[@michellesymes6917]

[@mirandawyatt77]

Yes!!! I second this

[@joetine5]

Yes, yes, YES!! So many fantastic songs by Sawyer Brown. Do The walk! Some Girls Do!

[@jvsmith7888]

From 1984 to 1993, Restless Heart was one of the biggest country bands around, and this was when Country Bands ruled the charts. During this period, they put out 6 studio albums and 22 chart singles, including 6 number one's. They were known for their great harmonies. Larry Stewart was the front man and main lead singer, but every band member could, and eventually did, sing lead. Some great songs from them include: "(Back to the) Heartbreak Kid", "Wheels", "That Rock Won't Roll", "Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right)", "Big Dreams in a Small Town", "When She Cries" and "We Got the Love". If you would like to hear the bass player (Paul Gregg) sing lead, check out the song "Mending Fences."

[@mack1305]

Oooo just got reminded of another great band with fantastic harmonies. Blackhawk "Goodbye says it all."

[@jacobsaenz8321]

BlackHawk - I sure can smell the rain 🌧

[@GypsySorcerer]

That's Just About Right is another good one by them...

[@geneaustin5151]

Restless Heart is basically described as the Eagles of Country. So good in concert, a ton of hits, and impeccable harmonies. Check out Fast Movin' Train and many others!

[@jbjacobs9514]

I can kind of see the Eagles footprint in their harmonies and songs.

[@evanhughes1510]

Another great Restless Heart song is That Rock Won’t Roll

[@richardhenderson9767]

I'll Still Be Loving You, and When She Cries are amazing songs by Restless Heart. ❤

[@darrinlindsey]

I'm with you Jordan. That harmony from the bass player is the highlight of this song. This band was all about harmonies, to me.

[@craigdragseth9272]

The bass player sings lead on Tender Lie, I think. Also, at one point, the lead singer went solo. The band released a very popular album where all the remaining members took turns singing lead.

[@jasonvulgamore7414]

"Why does it have to be" is the best Restless Heart song

[@chazrjr]

"I'll still be loving you" All Time great Ballad. Wedding song

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Restless Heart is the most underrated country band of all time. Larry Stewart is amazing. “Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong or Right)” is also a banger.

[@roncypert8255]

I saw Larry Stewart with Tim Rushlow of Little Texas and Richie McDonald of Lone Star in concert together as The Frontmen Of Country in Midland/Odessa, Texas a few years back. Talk about a supergroup! They delivered 😮a high energy show packed with their hits with their respective groups and even a few surprise songs from some of the artists who had influenced them. After the show, they stood behind tables with their merch on them and signed anything a fan gave them to sign. I got to talk with Larry for about 5 minutes as the crowd thinned out. I told him the RH songs we played in the area honky tonks and he motioned me over to the end of the table where we just chatted about playing in a group. He was very down to earth and made me feel like I was the one person in the world he wanted to talk to. Of course my date just stood there salivating the whole time! Lol. I love so many of their songs but Long Lost Friend is my favorite. Amber, you would especially love it. I think it would really touch you.

[@shawnpilgrim2355]

@@roncypert8255 I love Little Texas also. Their lead singer grew up in my hometown.

[@chrisharris_arizona]

Check out “Why Does it Have to Be” on Larry’s Country Diner on YT. Live, acoustic, the harmonies.

[@Tejaye777]

I don't know this song but I love their songs-" I still be loving you" and "When she cries" also.

This is my favorite Restless Heart song and one of my favorite Country songs. So happy to see y'all react to it! My favorite Country song is Doug Stones, "I'd Be Better Off (In A Pine Box)." Hope to see you react to that one too.

[@TraceyL.ByeByeLvTheCars]

A fun band to check out is Sawyer Brown, a few of their songs~~ The Race Is On~~ Six Days On The Road~~ The Walk~~ Step That Step~~Some Girls Do~~ All These Years~~ Thank God For You~~..... Another great band to check out is Little Texas~~ God Bless Texas~~ What Might Have Been~~ My Love.

[@coloradolady2379]

Restless Heart was a really class act. They were booked to play a really small town venue in the mid eighties as their star was rising. Even though their fee had increased, they played a fantastic concert for our small town at the original, agreed-upon rate. That’s true class!

[@reneestes6254]

Love, love, love Restless Heart!! Listen to more of their music. You’ll love it. The music is great and the vocals are solid!

[@kejola1969]

So much talent in Restless Heart! Larry Stewart is one helluva, singer!

[@col-hiwildcats6717]

Restless Heart has been a personal favorite since 1986 and first hearing the song "New York (Hold Her Tight)" - which I don't think anyone mentioned yet. Their keyboard player is from my hometown. Their 4-part harmonies are amazing! You cannot go wrong with any of their songs. Keep up the great reactions guys.

[@Brian-iu7rd]

Saw them at the Grizzly Rose in Denver (I don't want to admit how long ago) and got to hear that one live - one of my favorites, too. They were amazing in concert.

[@brittanieshubert9499]

Oh my gosh I suggested this song, thank you so much for reviewing it!!!!

[@cherokeehill9242]

Great suggestion!!

[@lynnebaker7787]

A friend of mine and I went to see them at a country music festival. My oldest daughter was a baby (2) at the time, and she loved Larry Stewart (the lead singer). The funny or sweet part of the story is that when we were getting signatures from the band, she held her hands out to Larry and he actually took her and held her in his lap, for the longest time, while he signed other peoples stuff. He and the other guys her awesome to her and us. Still have the picture of her on his lap.

[@kevinferris3187]

No other band has the rich harmonic sound of Restless Heart, period. Those 5 guys made the best harmonies ever.

[@randall5076]

When I saw that you were listening to Restless Heart I was so hoping it would be the song"I'll Still Be Loving You". That in my opinion is a great song, check it out sometime.

[@markb4188]

Absolutely LOVE Restless Heart. I saw them in concert in San Antonio with Alabama. What a great concert that was. Restless Heart has soooooooo many great songs. I’ll still be loving you When she cries Wheels Dancys Dream That rock won’t roll You cannot stop with just this song. Brings back so many memories. Thank you.

[@douglaslaney8536]

I like Nina Perssons (the Cardigans) version a bit more. Was at the closing credits of the movie “Boys Don’t Cry”.

[@thecasper911]

"When She Cries" was probably their first real country pop cross-over! It was after Larry Stewart left to go solo, and the rest of the band took turns with lead vocals! This song actually did decent on the adult contemporary chart if my memory serves me correctly!

[@sallyphillips9175]

This song hit No. 1 on the Billboard country chart in 1988. I was thinking it crossed over to the pop chart too, but apparently not. Two of their other songs did -- "I'll Still Be Loving You" in 1986 and "When She Cries" in 1992. ETA: Today's country sounds like Southern rock rather than what it did in the 70s and 80s. You can't forget the country crooners like Don Williams, Gene Watson, Ronnie Millsap, Randy Travis and Keith Whitley.

[@bunnyheywood]

Noooooo.......nothing today sounds like the awesome Southern Rock that started in 1979 as the best year of Southern Rock....like Charlie Daniels Band and other greats....

Two things about that high note: 1) it is breathtaking; 2) it reminds me of my favorite John Denver song, "Calypso." I don't think you've reacted to that one yet, but you would make me happy if you did, and I'm sure you'd love it, too.

Glad you are playing music with a fellow Oklahoma boy in the band.
