Review by Robert Taylor
Guitarist Larry Coryell recorded several sessions for the Vanguard label during the '70s with varying results. He did manage two classics, Spaces, and this one, The Restful Mind. It is no small coincidence that the better the personnel he surrounded himself with, the better he played. On Spaces, the presence of John McLaughlin and Chick Corea raised his playing to another level. Here, with the backing of the group Oregon (with the exception of Paul McCandless), who were also signed to Vanguard at this time), bring out a more reflective and relaxed Coryell. His tendency to fall back on his chops was always a weak spot in his playing, but it is thankfully absent here. Both of the "Improvisation" pieces are highlights in Coryell's career, which along with the other beaufitul selections, make this one of his best, and certainly most overlooked, recordings. https://www.allmusic.com/album/restful-mind-mw0000215215

Reseña de Robert Taylor
El guitarrista Larry Coryell grabó varias sesiones para el sello Vanguard durante los años 70 con resultados dispares. Logró dos clásicos, Spaces, y éste, The Restful Mind. No es casualidad que cuanto mejor era el personal del que se rodeaba, mejor tocaba. En Spaces, la presencia de John McLaughlin y Chick Corea elevó su interpretación a otro nivel. Aquí, con el respaldo del grupo Oregon (a excepción de Paul McCandless), que también estaban fichados por Vanguard en esta época), saca a relucir a un Coryell más reflexivo y relajado. Su tendencia a recurrir a sus chuletas fue siempre un punto débil en su forma de tocar, pero afortunadamente está ausente aquí. Las dos piezas de «Improvisation» son momentos culminantes en la carrera de Coryell, que junto con las otras hermosas selecciones, hacen de ésta una de sus mejores grabaciones, y sin duda la más olvidada. https://www.allmusic.com/album/restful-mind-mw0000215215
