Keyboards were played by Ivan Neville and Chuck Leavell, who would remain with the band for decades. As a result, a number of guest musicians appeared on the album, including guitarists Jimmy Page and Bobby Womack. It would be the last album to feature former member and frequent piano contributor Ian Stewart, who died shortly before the album's release. Some band members, including guitarist Ronnie Wood, drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman, were often absent from the studio during recording sessions it was rare that all five principal members were together at the same time. Almost all of the band members had spent the previous few years working on solo albums or side projects. The album was recorded during a time of turmoil for the band, as its two principal songwriters, Richards and Jagger, had been feuding over the band's direction during most of the 1980s. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, the album was recorded during a period when relations between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had soured considerably, according to Richards' autobiography Life. It was released on 24 March 1986 on the Rolling Stones label by CBS Records, their first under their new contract with Columbia Records. Dirty Work is the 18th British and 20th American studio album by the English rock band the Rolling Stones.
