Making of The Album
With the exception of a brief reunion for a greatest hits compilation in 1998, Restless Heart had not been active since disbanding in 1994. Still Restless served as the band's reunion album, bringing back all five original members: lead singer Larry Stewart, drummer John Dittrich, bassist Paul Gregg, guitarist Greg Jennings, and pianist/keyboardist Dave Innis. It was the band's first album of all-new material since 1994's Matters of the Heart. In addition, it was the first album to feature the complete five-piece lineup since 1990's Fast Movin' Train, as Stewart and Innis had departed in 1991 and 1992, respectively.
According to Stewart, the album was more than one year in the making. Initially, they had planned to work with Tim DuBois and Scott Hendricks, who had produced virtually all of Restless Heart's previous albums. Both producers declined, however, as they had "their own things going". Eventually, two producers were chosen for Still Restless: Mac McAnally, a prominent session instrumentalist and songwriter who has worked with Sawyer Brown and Jimmy Buffett, and Kyle Lehning, who had produced for Randy Travis. McAnally also performed several instruments and sang background vocals on the album.
