Restless Spirit: Restless Spirit

Restless Spirit is the brainchild of Lords of Black guitarist Tony Hernando and given that this project is yet another put together by Frontiers Records he's got access to their go-to guys such as the ubiquitous Alessandro Del Vecchio, the on-practically-everything-at-the-moment Deen Castronovo and the more active than he has been Johnny Gioeli. To be honest, there's not much on Restless Spirit to distinguish it from the plethora of similar Frontiers packages but that is by no means saying that it's terrible.

At its best as on "Unbreakable" or on " 'Cause I Know You're The One" there's a sense of Journey-like joy and hooks on offer, the playing is exemplary throughout and I have not had any great issue playing the album front-to-back repeatedly. It's just that there's nothing on offer that pushes the genre or the musical landscape any further. It's fine, it's good, it's one for the car but ultimately it is a little bit forgettable in the final reckoning.
