Sweet little soul keeper this one - The opener In this little Town is like a cute little short story, with a heart to it. It will stay in your head nearly forever, because it has some universal human elements. A narrative structure in story telling that realy hit`s you in the heart. Restless Heart in a way, as we all some times feels.The other tracks is variable, but worth listen to anyway. It`s a form for light country rock, which really kicks in gear sometimes like Love Train. There are ballads that Mind of Matters of the heart which really tell universial stories about love and relationships that give every one hope for a better world for all of us. Track 8 Hometown Boy has quality written all over it in the same quality as In this little town has.Restless Heart gives you feed for your soul and your heart all in all. To sum it up with a tempo up beat song Id``cross the line, really gives you something for every taste.
An overlooked gem..... - This CD came out in 1994 and included only three of the original members: John Dittrich, Paul Gregg and Greg Jennings. Due to lack of support or radio play, this album flopped. This is an excellent CD. If you are a Restless Heart fan, this is a must. Matters Of The Heart contains all the elements that make a great Restless Heart CD. You ll have the opening track, In This Little Town instantly stuck in your head for days. Love Train sounds like something that would have come from the Wheels album. Track 3 is a genuine Restless Heart ballad. The piano hook alone will stick in your head. The rest of the album is solid. It s amazing that this didn t become a major hit. Once again, probably due to lack of promotion. This is a steal for the price listed. Even if you re not a Restless Heart fan, but are a country/pop fan, buy this immediately. After a few listens, it ll stay in your CD player for a long time. The only downside is that the CD is barely over 30 minutes long....but sometimes shorter is sweeter.
