" One Hit London Mix and and Winning Ugly NY Mix...shows just how much Ron Wood could contribute in terms of songwriting, creating riffs, and otherwise everywhere else...I could write 50-page essays on this stuff "

Dirty Work is a GREAT FUCKING ALBUM. Everything but Jagger's two jerk-off tunes (Back to Zero, Winning Ugly) are excellent. I'm not even kidding.

If I have to choose, I'll go with One Hit, Dirty Work, and... hmm... I'll go with Hold Back. But that excludes Fight, Had It With You, Sleep Tonight, and Stu's boogie. Which is unfortunate.

Let somebody do the dirty work
Find some fucker, find some jerk
AAAAAWWWWGGGGHHHHH, do it AAAAWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL for FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I listened to the album yesterday in honor of this thread and it was just relentless, start to finish. Moved like a runaway train. Ten songs about hate and nastiness and rudeness and things falling to pieces, ending with two amazing "I hate you" songs from Mick to Keith and Keith to Mick. And then a dead guy plays the blues for a dead band. Fucking wow. It is true that it's probably the ugliest record these ugly, ugly people ever recorded, but, to paraphrase an old saying, it's so ugly it's beautiful. The greatest band breakup record this side of Mott the Hoople's Brain Capers, which it sorta resembles.

In this order:

Had it with You
Too Rude
Sleep Tonight

I give "Had it" priority as an original. "Too Rude" was fantastic there and on the first Keith European tour.

"Sleep Tonight is a wee bit overproduced, but in a style familiar from the dense production on the "It's Only R'n'R" album. I like the echo, but I can imagine it stripped down, at the end of side 2 of "Talk is Cheap." In the "All About You" slot.

Winning Ugly is a hideous song, like the worst of Mick's solo originals, and would sound awful on a Mick album as well.

True testament to "Had it with You": I deejayed a large outdoor party/band concert in the summer just after Dirty Work came out. When I played "Had it," some Punk kids came up to my rig and asked me what Stones album it was from. They really liked it, and were...oddly disappointed when I said, "Their new one." You interpret. Only old guys came up to compliment me on odd singles from The Kinks Kronikles, like "She's Got Everything."

I have played HIWY "out" with similar result. People seem to think you've 'tricked' them into liking a later Stones cut or something. It really fucks w/their view of the universe. Happily, no one can even see you pulling out the LP since it is conveniently housed on the flip side of Harlem Shuffle.
