The magazine said they were looking for “tunes that touch the heart, move the soul and spark the fires of romance.”
The same issue spotlights the band in their “Catching Up With” feature page. The article quotes lead singer, Larry Stewart — “We’re as good as we ever have been and at the top of our level.”

Restless Heart shares the stage again with their good friend, Lee Greenwood, at the Grand Ol’ Opry for the December 9 performance. Earlier this year, Restless Heart performed with Greenwood on an around-the-world military entertainment tour.

“Considering we covered 27,000 miles in the 14 day tour last April together, our time at the Opry on the 9th will feel like a flash,” said Larry Stewart, lead singer for Restless Heart. “It will be fun to join Lee again on the Opry stage”.

The Saturday Opry show begins a much-deserved quiet month for Restless Heart. The legendary group topped the one hundred mark in performances in 2006 with just a few still to go before year’s end. “It’s nice to have some time with our families,” Stewart said, “but we’ll be ready for another hard-charging year in 2007.”
