Despite internal friction, Dirty Work captures The Rolling Stones in a raw, uncompromising mode, leaning into a hard rock sound. The album is notable for its heavy, layered production and contributions from a range of session musicians.
- Dirty Work was the band's first studio album since 1981's Tattoo You, marking a four-year gap between releases.
- The album was primarily recorded at the RCA Studios in New York and the Pathé-Marconi Studios in Paris.
- "One Hit (To the Body)" was released as the lead single, accompanied by a music video.
The Rolling Stones formed in 1962, centered around Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. They became archetypes of the rock and roll lifestyle and a defining force in blues-based rock and roll. In 1986, The Rolling Stones were grappling with internal tensions and a perceived creative lull. Dirty Work was released in the midst of this difficult period for the band.
