Produced by Barry Beckett and Scott Hendricks, LOVE WITHOUT MERCY was a revealing sophomore release for LRP and Arista. Regarded by many as his Music Row breakout, many of the album's best moments were actually cut 2,000 miles away from Nashville in the now-legendary Indigo Ranch studios in Malibu, California.

​

Boosted by three of the biggest singles of his career, 'What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am', 'Tender Moment' and the title track, LWM formally established LRP as not only one of popular music's best guitarists, but one of Nashville's most gifted singers and writers.
