As requested, here’s the Rock Candy Records Remastered & Reloaded release of THE OUTLAWS 1985’s album “Soldiers Of Fortune“, the band’s most AORish album ever, with that mid-Eighties radio friendly sound.
After 3 years on hiatus, in 1985 the band reunited around the core components of Hughie Thomason and Henry Paul who returned to the group, to sign with Spencer Proffer / Pasha Records, a record label exploding with the success of a revitalised Quiet Riot.
Produced by Randy Bishop (Prophet, Kick Axe) and recorded in Los Angeles, “Soldiers Of Fortune” explores the heart of the Southern rock style, injecting it with a well executed dose of contemporary melodic hard rock bravado.
