==1990s: The Law and solo career==
[[The Law (English band)|The Law]], Rodgers' 1991 musical venture with former the Who and Faces drummer [[Kenney Jones]], produced ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]''{{'s}} number one [[Album-oriented rock|AOR]] chart hit "Laying Down the Law" written by Rodgers, but the album peaked at number 126 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart. A second album can be found on the bootleg market, which is often referred to as ''The Law II''.  It is believed that this collection of songs were leftovers from the first album.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://paulrodgers.com/band/the-law/|title=The Law|work=Paul Rodgers Official Site|access-date=28 September 2014}}</ref> Rodgers acknowledged the influence of [[Jimi Hendrix]] by collaborating with [[Steve Vai]], Hendrix's Band of Gypsys ([[Buddy Miles]] and [[Billy Cox]]) and the [[London Metropolitan Orchestra]] and recording the track "Bold As Love", on the Hendrix tribute album ''In From The Storm''. Then Rodgers teamed with [[Journey (band)|Journey]] guitarist [[Neal Schon]] and drummer [[Deen Castronovo]] for his release ''[[The Hendrix Set]]'', a live 5-track CD, recorded in 1993 with Rodgers' interpretations of Hendrix songs. A Canadian and US tour followed. His Grammy-nominated solo CD, ''[[Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters]]'' was released in 1993. Rodgers wrote the title track and was backed by guitarists [[Brian May]], [[Gary Moore]], [[David Gilmour]], [[Jeff Beck]], [[Steve Miller (musician)|Steve Miller]], [[Buddy Guy]], [[Richie Sambora]], [[Brian Setzer]], [[Slash (musician)|Slash]], [[Neal Schon]], and [[Trevor Rabin]].

For [[Woodstock 94|Woodstock's 25th anniversary]] in 1994, Rodgers pulled together drummer [[Jason Bonham]], bassist [[Andy Fraser]] (from Free), guitarists [[Slash (musician)|Slash]] and Schon at the last moment to perform as the Paul Rodgers Rock and Blues Revue. In 1995, he formed a new band consisting of [[Jaz Lochrie]] on bass, [[Jimmy Copley]] on drums and [[Geoff Whitehorn]] on guitar. The band (The Paul Rodgers Band) toured extensively in Europe, US and in the UK until 1998 and released three albums – ''[[Live: The Loreley Tapes]]'', ''[[Now (Paul Rodgers album)|Now]]'' and ''[[Electric (Paul Rodgers album)|Electric]]''. ''Now'' charted internationally in the [[Top 40]]. The single "Soul of Love" remained in rotation on more than 86 US radio stations for six months but was not a sales success. His 1997 world tour included Russia, Japan, Canada, US, UK, Germany, France, Romania, Bulgaria, Israel, Brazil, Greece and Argentina.

Rodgers and [[Bad Company]] were on ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'''s US [[Broadcast Data Systems|BDS]] charts with the number one single "Hey, Hey" in 1999, one of four new tracks off Bad Company's ''[[The 'Original' Bad Co. Anthology]]''. The second single release, Rodgers's "Hammer of Love", reached number two. For the first time in 20 years, all the original members of Bad Company toured the US.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/original-bad-company-anthology-mw0001955427|title=The 'Original' Bad Co.
