En hommage à Ian Stewart, qui venait de décéder, une courte version instrumentale de "Key To The Highway" clôture l'album.
"I also still play a lot of bass (with the Stones) - four numbers on Dirty Work." - Ron Wood, 1988
"It is Keith's album to a great extent. I mean, he wrote those songs because of Mick's solo commitments. I would definitely say it was a Keith Richards-inspired record. Mick did a little bit as well, but all you need to put about this is that it was a Keith Richards-inspired record." - Steve Lillywhite, 1986
"I thought they were going to break up. They were having a lot of problems, a couple of the guys were stretched out, probably Charlie more than anybody at that time. They were working separately... The peacemaker that kept that group together, as far as I'm concerned, was Ronnie. He just had that extra spirit and life that it takes to be in a band. Plus he was younger, he had the energy, and he was willing to take the beating and be the fall guy for whatever that went down." - Bobby Womack
"Does it sound good, then?" - Charlie Watts, April 1986, not knowing the album had been released
"Touring Dirty Work would have been a nightmare. It was a terrible period. Everyone was hating each other so much: there were so many disagreements. It was very petty; everyone was so out of their brains, and Charlie was in seriously bad shape. When the idea of touring came up, I said, I don't think it's gonna work. In retrospect I was 100% right. It would have been the worst Rolling Stones tour. Probably would have been the end of the band... (Charlie was doing drugs and drinking.) Keith the same. Me the same. Ronnie - I don't know what Ronnie was doing. We just got fed up with each other. You've got a relationship with musicians that depends on what you produce together. But when you don't produce, you get bad reactions - bands break up. You get difficult periods, and that was one of them." - Mick Jagger, 1995
"On Too Rude, I got to play the drums. That was when Charlie was going through a terrible time with Shirley. They were having lots of heavy arguments and so Charlie was often late, or Shirley would come into the studio and forcibly drag him out. On one of those nights Keith said, All right, you're on drums, Ronnie... The drum sound was very dynamic: I ended up sounding like Solomon Burke's drummer. I was very proud of it, actually." - Ron Wood, 2003
"Yes - (I played) drums on... Sleep Tonight - I could never get over the thought of playing instead of Charlie, I thought that would be a sacrilege, but he insisted because he was going through a lot of problems at the time and couldn't be at the studio. Keith said, Right, you're on drums, so I finally hacked it into shape and when Charlie got there I gave him the sticks and he said, No, I can't get it right, you play it. It worked out good." - Ron Wood, 1988

Résumons en quelques lignes :
Comme sur tous les Stones depuis plus de 15 ans, la participation de Bill Wyman se limite au strict minimum. Ron Wood joue sur 4 titres. Et les Stones utilisent un requin de studio sur les deux premiers titres de la face 2.
La dépendance de Charlie Watts à l'héroïne* et à l'alcool était telle que le recours à deux batteurs de studio (Steve Jordan et Anton Fig) est devenu indispensable. C'est même Ron Wood qui officie sur les deux titres chantés par Keith Richards.
* Elément biographique que je n'ai appris que très récemment.
Les séances de "Dirty Work" ayant débuté au moment où Jagger sortait "She's The Boss", son premier album solo, "Dirty Work" est devenu le bébé de Keith Richards, et n'aurait sans doute pas vu le jour sans l'aide de Ron Wood, qui co-signe la moitié des titres originaux. C'est aussi ce qui explique la présence de deux titres chantés par Keith Richards, une première alors.
Bref, tous les éléments concordaient pour que ce soit le pire album des Stones... mais étrangement, les problèmes relationnels opposant Jagger à Richards donnent au disque une urgence et une agressivité que l'on ne retrouvera sur aucun Stones depuis.
Les critiques furent partagées, et le restent. Certains militent pour une réhabilitation de "Dirty Work" :
http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/on_second_thought/rolling-stones-dirty-work.htm
La batterie est mal mixée. Et il y a deux trois titres très faibles. Mais il ne faut pas s'arrêter à ça, car pour le reste, c'est le disque où Keith Richards va, à mon sens, le plus loin en tant que guitariste rythmique.
Les textes sont loin d'être ridicules en plus.

Re: Dirty Work (1986)
Réputé comme un des pires mais je l'aime bien ! Un de mes disques préféré des années 80. C'est curieux.
C'est dix fois mieux que "Voodoo Lounge", "Bridges To Babylon" et "Bigger Bang" !!
Face 1
1. One Hit (To The Body) - pas mal mais les chœurs sont trop forts
2. Fight - un bon petit rock Stonien
3. Harlem Shuffle - excellent, une très bonne reprise
4. Hold Back - un bon petit rock Stonien encore, j'aime bien l'attaque de Mick.
5. Too Rude - un bon reggae dans le style "Armagideon Time" du Clash.
Face 2 :
1. Winning Ugly - Oui, ça va.
2. Back To Zero - J'aime bien. Un bon funk.
3. Dirty Work - - un bon petit rock Stonien encore
4. Had It with You - J'adore. "had witchoooo !"
5. Sleep Tonight - J'ai horreur des chansons Keef des sernières années mais celle-ci passe.

Re: Dirty Work (1986)
Pas le disque du siècle mais quand on en parle je me souviens toujours du premier accord de Harlem Shuffle à la radio, sur le radio réveil.
A l'époque y'avait pas internet, si, si, les kids, je vous assure, y'a eu un monde avant internet, et on lisait plus la presse rock, vu qu'y avait plus beaucoup de rock. Un no man's land, en quelque sorte, aka eighties.
Et puis le premier accord et je me dis, merde, un nouveau Stones.
Harlem shuffle est pas d'eux, mais c'est bien fait. J'écoute pas le disque tous les jours non plus, ceci dit.

Re: Dirty Work (1986)
J'aime beaucoup DIRTY WORK çà s'écoute de bout en bout très bien, ONE HIT (to the body) est super !! HAD IT WITH YOU géniale !! ; Winning ugly très très sympathique ; en fait j'aime chaque titre sans exception et pourtant ce disque a été enregistré de manière catastrophique (d'ou son nom DIRTY WORK en français SALE BOULOT puisque Jagger et Richards se faisaient la gueule (meme pas de tournée ensuite). Bref ! J'aime beaucoup.
