| | Rolling Stones Dirty Work CD Rolling Stones Discography of CDs
 (8 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered by Bob Ludwig (Gateway Mastering Studios).
Three years after releasing 1983's UNDERCOVER, the Rolling Stones returned to the studio to record DIRTY WORK. During the band's sabbatical, Mick Jagger had released his solo debut SHE'S THE BOSS, sparking resentment from Keith Richards, who did not approve of Jagger making music outside of the band. A notable distinction of DIRTY WORK is Ron Wood's collaboration with the Jagger/Richards songwriting axis on four songs, "One Hit (To The Body)", "Fight," "Had It With You" and the title track, which may have been code for the Glimmer Twins' then-strained relationship.
Since Stones recording sessions are always special events, a number of famous guests made cameos on this 1986 release. Among them are Stones heroes Bobby Womack and Don Covay, Tom Waits, Jimmy Page and producer Steve Lillywhite's wife Kirsty MacColl. Despite any infighting, the Stones continued their history of interesting cover choices. A minor 1964 hit by Bob and Earl hit the top five for the Stones, while Half Pint's "Too Rude" continued the band's love affair with reggae.
DIRTY WORK includes an unlisted instrumental track.
Recorded at Pathe Marconi Studios, Paris, France. Originally released on Rolling Stones Records.
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals); Keith Richards, Ron Wood (guitar); Bill Wyman (bass); Charlie Watts (drums).
Additional personnel: Bobby Womack, Don Covay, Chuck Leavell, Jimmy Page, Patti Scialfa, Jimmy Cliff, Tom Waits, Kirsty MacColl, Ivan Neville, Anton Fig, Steve Jordan, Charley Drayton, Philippe Saisse, Dan Collette, John Regan, Alan Rogan, Ian Stewart, Janis Pendarvis, Dolette McDonald.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Dirty Work (1986)
Although this is the worst of the Rolling Stones' albums, ITS NOT THAT BAD! Its actually enjoyable sometimes. Although the production is cheesy, what do you expect? It was the sound of the times. Compared to country music and rap and all the other new crap music this is great.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER BUT STILL IS GOOD
In my humble opinion, Dirty Work is an excellent collection of songs with a bad and dated 80s production job. Maybe they had used a more 70s oriented producer, the album could have been different .... and better. Tracks like "One Hit", "Fight", the title track & "Had It With You" rock hard; and "Sleep Tonight" is one of the most beatiful Stones ballads ever. The hidden track is a nice tribute to the late Stu but I would have included a complete piano piece by him as homage. If you're able to forget the horrible production and enter into the core of the songs, Dirty Work will sound very enjoyable.

| | Shakira She Wolf CD (2009)
Dirty Work CD music
$15.15
Shakira's brand new English album She Wolf is an uptempo pop album. It is all about synthesizers and electronic concepts, all mixed with the world sounds that we are used to from Shakira.. sounds from countries like India, the Middle East and her home country of Colombia. She Wolf features a predominantly English track list with a follow up album of new and unique repertoire in Spanish to come in 2010. The title track "She-Wolf " boasts the infectious and energizing sound that made Shakira a household name, with a slightly more dancey/ electronic beat (about 125 beats per minute). Though most tracks on the upcoming album will be in English, Shakira chose to service the Spanish version of the first single, "Loba", two weeks before the English single is launched.
Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is carnal. And for as sexy as Shakira is -- crucially, her music is sexy too -- what really gives She Wolf its bite is her inspired nuttiness, how she laments that Matt Damon's not meant for her, and wishes her ex-lover and his new girl a horrible vacation where the room smells ...

| | Japan Exorcising Ghosts: Best Of CD (1984)
Dirty Work songs
$9.75
It's not a true career overview, and given that the band only released two albums during its stint on Virgin, a collection that includes at least half of each of those efforts is ultimately a strange exercise in superfluity. That all said, though, if one needs to have a useful enough starting point for what made Japan so great, Exorcising Ghosts is a reasonable way to start. The emphasis is entirely on the moody, melancholic but energetic phase of Japan's career -- there's nothing earlier than a couple of cuts from Quiet Life, and any hint of the band's trash glam rock start is carefully and quietly ignored. Tasteful is the word here instead, and, to be sure, the album cover and design, a beautifully striking effort from regular Sylvian artistic partner Russell Mills, is one of the best ever done. Sylvian himself oversaw the compilation, which leads to an important note: if there's a version of the album to get, appropriately enough it's the Japanese one. As the collection was apparently meant to be geared towards the band's namesake country first and foremost, that version includes a slew of extra tracks that create not only a better picture of the band's work, but provides more rarities of interest to fans. Besides such wonderful album cuts as "Swing" and "Sons of Pioneers," ...

Dirty Work music CDs
$11.19
In 2001, Rock n Roll Kamikaze had the bad luck of being issued by Junk Records just as the Huntington Beach indie was closing its doors. Factor in a tour aborted by the events of 9/11, and the LP became one more chunk of bad luck for these hardworking San Diego garage punks. However, the relationship the Dragons established with Gearhead in 2003 has once again borne fruit, with the label's reissue of this expanded and remastered edition of Rock n Roll Kamikaze. Fans of Sin Salvation, the band's searing Gearhead debut -- or anyone familiar with their live show, which features many of these cuts -- should swallow this kamikaze like the stinging rock & roll shot that it is. Overdriven gutter guitar, Mario Escovedo's gritty slurs, and a rhythm section that sounds like an R-rated '50s sock hop -- it's all here, buffed and polished and ...
