Restless is the fifth studio album by
Shelby Lynne, released on July 18, 1995 on
Magnatone Records, and later re-released on
Curb Records. Lynne co-wrote six of the songs on the album. The album is considered the last in a series of efforts for Lynne to attract mainstream country music audiences, this time incorporating elements of
western swing. Lynne did not record another album with a
Nashville-based record label until more than a decade later, when she signed with
Lost Highway Records.
Writing for
AllMusic, Thom Jurek praised several tracks including "Slow Me Down", "Restless", "Reach for the Rhythm" and "Swingtown" and overall, he described the album as a "slab of swinging-for-the-charts commercial country."[2]
