THE LAW (Paul Rodgers) – The Law [Friday Music Deluxe Edition +1 Remastered]

Here’s another request fulfilled in the form of the Friday Music Records deluxe remastered edition of THE LAW self-titled album plus a previously unreleased track. In 1991, the legendary Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Co., Queen) and powerhouse drummer Kenney Jones (The Faces, The Who) teamed up as THE LAW and delivered one incredible smash album.
Although a short venture, it’s been an enduring chapter in the career of both superstars.

With some major player help from David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, Chris Rea, and Pino Palladino, the album netted the duo a #1 AOR smash in the track ‘Laying Down The Law’.
Phil Collen (lDef Leppard), wrote ‘Miss You In A Heartbeat’ for this album (later recorded by Def Leppard for their Retrospective album), while Bryan Adams co-wrote and plays guitar on ‘Nature of the Beast’.

“The Law” had it’s share of songwriters and guest musicians, yet the end result are eleven songs that possess the Classic Rock / Hard Rock sound that hooks me each time I listen.
In fact, the record sounds pretty ’80s production-wise, think Bad Company’s AORish albums from that era.

Additionally, one of the greatest things of this recording is that it captured Paul Rodgers when he still had that amazing voice. His vocals started to change and weaken by the time he got around to that blues album he did after The Law, 1994s Muddy Water Blues.
Paul’s voice today is nothing like it was on this “The Law” CD. So appreciate this at least for one last collection of Paul singing the way he did in his golden days.

This long overdue re-issue is now a Deluxe Edition remastered impeccably by Joe Reagoso (Doobie Brothers, David Lee Roth, Deep Purple), and includes the very rare and unreleased gem ‘That’s When You Fall In Love’.
If you missed this the first time around, catch up with The Law now. It’s a really good album with a classic feel and a second half of the ’80s sound.
