Steel Wheels is the nineteenth studio album (twenty-first American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in 1989. It is their final studio album to feature Bill Wyman, who chose to quit shortly after the release of the live Flashpoint, his departure made final in 1993. After 30 years with the Stones, Wyman decided he had finally had enough, for reasons including a developing fear of flying (despite his being a former RAF cadet), his frustration at not being able to have much creative input in the band (such as having any of his songs be recorded by them), his interest in exploring other areas, and most importantly his need to get his personal life in order. He would be replaced by Darryl Jones, who remains an unofficial member to this day.Steel Wheels is generally considered to be the band's comeback album. After the turmoil the Stones spent through much of The '80s, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards finally (albeit temporarily) sorted out their differences early in 1989. Within a matter of weeks had finished writing and began recording the album, at a rate not seen since the mid-60's. Although it marked (yet another) return to their roots, the sound is clearly of its era, mainly due to the mildly prominent synthesizers and now-dated production.Upon release, it was greeted with a positive response, and remains one of the more highly rated later Stones albums. Fan favourites include "Mixed Emotions" (which became their last Top 10 hit in the US), "Rock and a Hard Place", "Terrifying", and "Slipping Away".

New Sound Album
 Steel Wheels (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: At least, it's the Stones most 80's album. The track "Continental Drift" was also a different sound for the band as it featured the Moroccan folk band the Master Musicians Of Jajouka, who had previously worked together with Brian Jones on his only solo album: Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka.

Special Guest: The Master Musicians Of Jajouka note Before 1995 they were called Joujouka, but they had a Meaningful Name Change to avoid confusion with another Moroccan band who had a similar name appear on "Continental Drift". In 1968 Brian Jones recorded an album with them, which was only posthumously released in 1971 as Brian Jones Presents the Pipes of Pan at Jajouka.

The Atoner: The protagonist of "Mixed Emotions". Partly based on Jagger and Richards more or less burying the hatchet.

Shout-Out: "Blinded By Love" references Cleopatra VII and Mark Anthony, Samson and Delilah, as well as king Edward VIII of England, who was forced to abdicate the crown in 1936 because he had fallen in love with a commoner, Wallis Simpson, who was also American and divorced. In the 1995 The Simpsons episode "Lisa's Wedding", set in the future year of 2010, a poster can be seen in Lisa's room with the text "The Rolling Stones Steel Wheelchair Tour", a pun on their Steel Wheels tour.
