Restless Heart

Restless Heart is the ninth studio album by English hard rock band Whitesnake, released by EMI on 26 March 1997 in Japan and 26 May in Europe. It was produced by the band’s vocalist David Coverdale, and originally conceived as a solo album. However, Coverdale was pressured into releasing the record under the moniker “David Coverdale & Whitesnake” by EMI. Musically Restless Heart features a more subdued sound compared to Whitesnake’s previous two albums. It is also the only full-length Whitesnake studio album to feature guitarist Adrian Vandenberg throughout, despite being a member of the group since 1987.

The album received a mixed response from music critics and only reached No. 34 in the group’s native UK. In total, Restless Heart charted in ten countries. With Whitesnake having been dropped by Geffen Records in 1994, Restless Heart did not receive a North American release, being available only as an import. The album’s supporting tour was billed as Whitesnake’s farewell tour, although the band would later reform in 2003.

24 years later, the album was reissued by RHINO Entertainment, featuring remastered and remixed versions of the album, among other previously unreleased material. Current member, Joel Hoekstra (Guitar) and Dream Theater’s Derek Sherinian (Keyboards) added additional stem tracks to the remixed release to sound more concisely as the band’s sound.
