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.

In addition, it was the first album to feature the complete five-piece lineup since Fast Movin' Train (1990), as Stewart and Innis had departed in 1991 and 1992, respectively.

Initially, they had planned to work with Tim DuBois and Scott Hendricks, who had produced virtually all of Restless Heart's previous albums.

Three of the album's eleven tracks were written by Mac McAnally, and all three had been previously recorded by him as well: "Down the Road" from Simple Life (1990), "Miracle" from 1994's Knots, and "Looking Back" from 1999's Word of Mouth.

[5] Lead vocal by Larry Stewart on all tracks except John Dittrich on "Looking Back" and "The Night Before", and Paul Gregg on "Yesterday's News".
