Coverdale then contacted Vandenberg about resuming their writing sessions. The collaboration came to an abrupt end, however, in December 1993 after only a few live shows. In 1993, Coverdale released an album with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. He eventually began writing songs again with Whitesnake guitarist Adrian Vandenberg, but their sessions broke down after Vandenberg allegedly presented Coverdale with songs "more suited to Chicago or Poison". Restless Heart is set to be reissued by Rhino Entertainment in 2021, featuring remastered and remixed versions of the album, among other previously unreleased material.Īfter completing the Liquor & Poker World Tour in September 1990, vocalist David Coverdale elected to put Whitesnake on hold, wanting to take a break from the music industry. The album's supporting tour was billed as Whitesnake's farewell tour, although the band would later reform in 2003. 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. In total, Restless Heart charted in ten countries. The album received a mixed response from music critics, and only reached number 34 in the group's native UK. 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. Musically Restless Heart features a more subdued sound compared to Whitesnake's previous two albums. However, Coverdale was pressured into releasing the record under the moniker "David Coverdale & Whitesnake" by EMI. It was produced by the band's vocalist David Coverdale, and originally conceived as a solo album. 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.
