The Law (The Law album)

History

The Law was formed when Paul Rodgers met Kenney Jones in a nightclub in London and decided to put a band together. The two teamed up with different supporting musicians in order to give Paul Rodgers freedom to pursue whatever music style he felt like.
Unlike his previous projects in which he wrote or co-wrote most of the material, he relied heavily on outside writers to write songs for the album (Like Phil Collen, Chris Rea, Bryan Adams, etc...). Ironically, the only chart topper of the album, 'Laying Down the Law,' was written by Rodgers himself. The album features notable appearances by David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, Chris Rea and Jim Barber.
Aside from the single, the album was received very poorly by the critics and the public which led to disbanding of the band.
