SW gets a bum rap from all the people who look at it in hindsight.
At the time, I was just glad to have it. After DW, it looked like the Stones were finished. I remember seeing a clip of Woody on Entertainment Tonight saying that's it, the Stones aren't speaking, it's over.
Steel Wheels was a comeback all right. Artistically, it doesn't rate with Let It Bleed, Aftermath, etc., but it was also experimental and bold. They were really working again.
There are some great songs on that album,but NOT Rock and a Hard Place.
It's just way too polished. It doesn't even sound like the Stones. It's like they were going for the Phil Collins fan base.
Awful.
