You betcha! Back when Country was Country. Country music as a whole is sad today including Taylor Swift. Daddy goes to Nashville with $6 million dollars and buys a record deal. Country music was about working class folks, now it's about young rich kids who sing about things they know nothing about yet, Life.
@tcbtn1 Restless Heart was probably the biggest reason I started listening to country music back in the late 80's, and i'm sure the country purists back then said the same thing about them that you're saying about Taylor. Everyone's taste in country is gonna be different, and I think you're being unduly harsh in your criticism of her music, it's good music. She's outselling everyone, so to me, your criticism in unjustified and rings of jealousy. If you don't like it, don't listen to it
@wcrew97 Taylor Swift is an outstanding performer and I was not speaking against her talent. I am speaking about a day and time in the past when regular folks with dreams and talent had a chance in Nashville. I also never heard anyone say that Restless Heart was not pure Country. Though I never signed with a label, I spent 20 years in the music industry and know what I am talking about. Wynona Judd, Alan Jackson, George Straight etc. share my same thoughts and I'm sure, they aren't "jealous".
@ThePreacheroftheword You might want to be careful with those blanket statements. Because with that, you just called the likes of Reba, George Straight and Alan Jackson wannabe's. All the same I understand your point that there are a lot of singers that don't fit the "traditional mold". That, I think is just the evolution of the genre.
@ThePreacheroftheword I love this comment. I was born in 1985 and i didnt get to hear this music when it first was coming out since I was so young. Having said that I think late 80's early 90's country was the best. New country is basically pop music.
I was dis-owned by both parents yesterday. They're "sick and tired" of driving me to my chemotherapy treatments. And a lot more. I woke up singing this song - God really works in mysterious ways. He talks to me through my dreams. This song is perfect for my situation. Thank God!!!
@rip607 I agree! The songs actually meant something to someone and people could identify with them and they became part of the soundtrack of peoples lives. I miss the harmonies and sounds that came from bands like them, little Texas, Diamond Rio, and others. There are only a handful that semi comes close to heaving meaningful songs to people now. :(
@ShawnaLynneP Agreed...but Alabama weren't all that Country either. More Southern Pop/Rock. Restless Heart had Alabama, Eagles, and Poco leaning, but I've always found them more in the vein of Toto, Mr. Mister, Glass Tiger, 80s Chicago, etc. Very West Coast styled. Still great, but I'd say more Lite AOR/West Coast than Country.
@bigdctherock I'd say Alabama were about 75% Country. Moreso than the others, but they had a few tunes that were straight Pop or straight Rock. Mainly on the album cuts and Jeff Cook got a decent amount of Rock-styled numbers. "Lovin' Man," "Lovin' You is Killin' Me," "Cruisin'," etc. are not Country songs. They are very much rock songs. No offense, so I guess we can agree to disagree. Yeah, they were more Country, but had Rock influences.
Is that Amy Grant @ 30, 52, and 58 seconds? Whoever the brunette is that has her hair up in a bun for this video bears an uncanny resemblance to Smitty's great musical friend.
I saw these guys in concert back in 2005 in Parsons, Ks it was my first ever concert to go to and i loved it they are great just wish i could hear more of them
Always loved this song, remember hearing it on the radio when i was about 4-5 when it was new. Anyone else think one of these girls looks like Courtney Cox?
@MrWhiskeyPig These guys are still making music. The problem is country radio not wanting to play real music. Rather they play the demographics game so they get more listeners rather than "good" music. My favorite band Blackhawk has been touring and making music for a decade since their greatest hits came out but radio would rather play Kenny Chesney or Rascal Flatts.
Greg Doutrich sounded great on "When She Cries" but Larry Stewart makes Restless Heart!! This is a great song and a good video and I am glad to have found it online. I always laugh at the bandanna tie and long stringy hear wtih the balding front that the bass player is sporting.. he looks like a railroad worker!
i think when every new country artist lists the bands an musicians that influenced them they should stop an think.... wow if they listened to my music they would be sickened.. new country is a joke an for the most part is rock with lyrics singing about there tractors an stupid ass shit.. this era of country was definatly a defining moment of when country was at its peak.. todays shit blows ass
@metallicaman20 Yeah, back in 70s and 80s there was a bigger variety of styles of country music. So there was just about something for everyone then. I like just about everything from those years. For me it all went in the toilet in the early 90s when they fired up the hat factory and turned it all into a star of the month club. Man, I hate today's "county" crap with a passion.
I love you, baby! I just hope that someday I can tell you how I really feel....this song reminds me of you every time I hear it. You're perfect and beautiful, don't you ever change. I love you just the way you are, and I love everything about you. You're amazing, and you're everything I've ever dreamed of. Stay beautiful, Cowboy! ♥
I love you, baby! This song always reminds me of you, and I hope someday I'll get to tell you how I really feel....you're amazing and I love everything about you. You're perfect, don't change. ♥ Stay beautiful!
@Oureradication It truly is such a sad thing to know.... I miss new songs like this come out it's a bitter sweet thing listening to to amazing songs like this knowing no new ones are going to be coming out anytime soon :(
question to any synth players watching... what GM MIDI tone do I need to use to emulate the sound heard here? I'm assuming it's some kind of clavinet or electric piano sound, but I could be wrong... could really use some help. Trying to write my own stuff, and I LOVE the keyboards on here...
country version of the eagles we had a band called cool country and warner brothers said we sounded like them with a charlie lovin lead singer i dont know about that but i miss restless heart and those hay days!
Good question. "Why does it have to be wrong or right? Why do we have to hurt one to love another? Why does it have to be black or white? Why do we have to hurt one to love another?" (If this isn't how the line goes, please feel free to let me know!)
Country music started to become a train wreck in the 90s. Once country music started to lose the fiddle, honky tonk piano, and pedal steel guitar, it lost the very things that made it country. At that point it just became pop music with a southern accent. The vocal harmony in this song is what makes it a stone classic. Restless Heart, Alabama, Shenandoah, Southern Pacific...these bands were country music's last stand.
I miss this kind of true music also ... this song was my oldest (now 24) son's song when he was a child. his father and I was never married & he absolutely loves my hubby (been together since he was 4 and he used this sing to show how he felt about how kids sometimes feel caught in the middle.
Not to many people use music in that honest... dealing with life way anymore
80sall shoutout does nebody no whatever happened 2 The Tractors or Confederate Railroad or Black Hawk or The Buffalo Club or 2 the band that put out the song "Feed Jake" these were (n my humble opinion) sum great acts of the 90's that just seemed 2 fizzle out. let me no what u think by shouting back (not really) at me thru the board. :D
"Feed Jake" was recorded by Pirates of the Mississippi. Most of the best bands from the early 90s are unfortunately no longer together. I saw Confederate Railroad a few years back in Raleigh and they were still awesome; they are still great.
Actually my Husband is a On Air Personality on the top Country radio station here in Branson Mo & he is doing an interview with them this afternoon (Larry Stewart lead singer and John Dittrich Drummer ) ( & YES They do play Restless Heart lol )
just heard this on the radio this morning. so cheesy but quite thoughtful :) why does it have to be wrong or right, one way or the other, black or white, hurt one to love another. sigh.
@chrisbeckysmith2006 I am soo with u here...this was one of those songs that played both on pop and country radio.....these guys crossed over all the time....so no matter if u look at as country or pop, it still has a simplicity that is missing from today's music both country or rock/pop
@chrisbeckysmith2006 oh so do i. i wished that time travel was available cause i wuld go back & relive those days just so that o culd listen 2 these great songs all over again on my stereo 4 the 1st time. Ir u agree with then contact me thru the message board. :D
@TheHarper2009 ur rite this is when country was country. i thnk the shit that's cumng out 2day is allrite but nun of it can hold a verse,chourse,lyric or even a note 4 that matter 2 the great songs of yesteryear. if u agree with me then reply thru the board. :D
Seriously, country music is just all pop and hiphop now. I don't even listen to the new stuff. The last songs that were even remotly good came out in 2003.
right...so i was writing something up, and one of the lines was "it doesn't have to be one way or another." and i sat there and was like.....this...is from a song...i know it is.....
so i went, and i looked up the lyrics i knew, and i found the song, and now i am listening to it again and again......
An interesting song. We don't have to hurt one to love another ! I love, who I love, just because. Not for anything in return. Sometimes our own rules hurt us in the end. : )
Wow-Restless Heart.!! It is this band that converted me from a die hard rock fan to a country music lover. This band caught my interest at a concert down at the band shelter at Leclaire Park in Davenport, Iowa. Charlie Daniel's band was there also. It had to be over 20 years ago. I bought their music the next day. Where are these guys. Their music is Fantastic!!!!
They are part Country, Pop and Adult Contemporary. They have great emotion in all of their songs and their delivery is awesome. Great arrangement. I love these guys, they rock.
These guys broke up in the late 80s when the lead singer tried to go off on his own as a stand-alone artist. He never really got anywhere alone and now they're back together touring again on a limited schedule.
I ask myself why everytime I want to return the love people give me I can't. Even though I want to with all my F***** heart. As a desperado at twenty-four I am tired, just tired of not being able to share good with a woman. I hope I'm not cursed, lol. Today, Instead of getting all nice with the woman I like because she seems to like me. I got nervous and just said some nonsense that we both already knew. When instead I wanted to tell her. "Why does it have to be wrong or right."
The overlapping of vocals, also known as harmony, is such an awesome skill in vocal performance. To do it as good as this group or others like Wilson Phillips, Chicago, or Expose takes great talent from each vocalist. It also requires precise listening skills in order for your voice to blend perfectly with the lead vocalist.
Oh wow, when I was a kid, I remember this song used to play every morning on my parents alarm clock radio, it always woke me up, cause I loved singing along to it.
who is the doll pictured at 2:22 in this video?...she is all through this video, and while there are some really great looking gals in this vid, she is extremely good looking...i've seen her somewhere else before.
I was thinking she was the hottest in the vid as well. She looks JUST like my big brother's friend's mom (except her mom is older than the girl in this vid xD).
Great Song. But i have a question, is this group considered country because it's hard for me to tell because they sound country but pop at the same time?
yes they are country, this was back when country was good music though, like alabama,etc. Not garbage like todays country. Although I'm sure this song got lots of pop radio play
I remember when this group was huge, and listening to my dad complain about them being "too pop", but even so my brother and I wore out MANY cassettes of theirs! It's just all great stuff. I had to do alot of babysitting to keep myself in RH albums!
i just saw these guys at a concert yesterday, they look a little different than they did in this video. they were great though and sang along with Collin Raye.
Maybe my eyes are fooling me but I think one of the blond girls was in Lethal Weapon 1. She played Amanda Hunsucker. Correct me if I am wrong.

@chrisbeckysmith2006 I am soo with u here...this was one of those songs that played both on pop and country radio.....these guys crossed over all the time....so no matter if u look at as country or pop, it still has a simplicity that is missing from today's music both country or rock/pop

Seriously, country music is just all pop and hiphop now. I don't even listen to the new stuff. The last songs that were even remotly good came out in 2003.

right...so i was writing something up, and one of the lines was "it doesn't have to be one way or another." and i sat there and was like.....this...is from a song...i know it is.....
so i went, and i looked up the lyrics i knew, and i found the song, and now i am listening to it again and again......

Wow-Restless Heart.!! It is this band that converted me from a die hard rock fan to a country music lover. This band caught my interest at a concert down at the band shelter at Leclaire Park in Davenport, Iowa. Charlie Daniel's band was there also. It had to be over 20 years ago. I bought their music the next day. Where are these guys. Their music is Fantastic!!!!

These guys broke up in the late 80s when the lead singer tried to go off on his own as a stand-alone artist. He never really got anywhere alone and now they're back together touring again on a limited schedule.

I ask myself why everytime I want to return the love people give me I can't. Even though I want to with all my F***** heart. As a desperado at twenty-four I am tired, just tired of not being able to share good with a woman. I hope I'm not cursed, lol. Today, Instead of getting all nice with the woman I like because she seems to like me. I got nervous and just said some nonsense that we both already knew. When instead I wanted to tell her. "Why does it have to be wrong or right."

I saw them do this live, and was amazed at how they did the overlapping vocals so seamlessly.
dragknuckle 2 years ago 3
The overlapping of vocals, also known as harmony, is such an awesome skill in vocal performance. To do it as good as this group or others like Wilson Phillips, Chicago, or Expose takes great talent from each vocalist. It also requires precise listening skills in order for your voice to blend perfectly with the lead vocalist.
You are right, this group is amazing!!!!

After you look up this video click on the "When She Cries." by this group and watch.

Great Song. But i have a question, is this group considered country because it's hard for me to tell because they sound country but pop at the same time?

elplayero75 2 years ago 4
yes they are country, this was back when country was good music though, like alabama,etc. Not garbage like todays country. Although I'm sure this song got lots of pop radio play
AndrewKH85 2 years ago 3
Well said,
I couldn't agree more.
For the most part today's country SUCKS!
There are a few exceptions. on occation
there might be a token traditional song like "When I Think About Cheatin" or
"I May Hate Myself In The Morning" but overall it SUCKS!
dart1966man 2 years ago 4
I remember when this group was huge, and listening to my dad complain about them being "too pop", but even so my brother and I wore out MANY cassettes of theirs! It's just all great stuff. I had to do alot of babysitting to keep myself in RH albums!

The lead singer is: Larry Stewart
He is the reason the band broke up years ago; he wanted to go "solo". The band has since rejoined each other. They are on myspace.
