The Law Kenney Jones &
Paul Rodgers
The Law were an English rock group
formed in 1991 comprising of ex-The Who drummer Kenney
Jones and former Free/Bad
Company singer Paul Rodgers. The two teamed
up with the idea of using different supporting musicians, in order to
allow Paul Rodgers to pursue
whatever musical style he felt like. They assembled a core band of
studio musicians, including guitarist John Staehely and bassist Pino
Palladino, and landed guest spots from guitarists like David
Gilmour, Bryan Adams, and Chris
Rea. They produced Billboard's #1 AOR Chart hit "Laying Down
The Law" written by Rodgers, but the album peaked at a disappointing
#126 on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart. A second album was recorded
but never released. However, bootlegs of the album, often referred to
as "The Law II", have surfaced. The Law played one show at Milton
Keynes Bowl supporting ZZ Top and Bryan Adams they were joined for
this show by John Young on keyboards.

There a few stories surrounding this collection of songs. The
first is that this is an unreleased second album withdrawn from release
at the last minute.The second is that it was actually recorded before
the officially released album,and the third is that these songs are
left-overs from the released album sessions. The third reason is the
correct one...
