Background

Following 

The Rolling Stones' 

Steel Wheels 

(1989), 

Jagger began writing

 new material 

for what would become

 Wandering Spirit.

 In January 1992, 

after landing 

Rick Rubin 

as co-producer, 

Jagger recorded the album

 in Los Angeles 

over seven months

 until September 1992, 

recording simultaneously 

as

 Keith Richards 

was making 

Main Offender.

Jagger kept

 the celebrity guests

 to a minimum on 

Wandering Spirit, 

only having 

Lenny Kravitz 

as a vocalist 

on his cover of

 Bill Withers' 

"Use Me" 

and bassist 

Flea

 from 

Red Hot Chili Peppers 

on three tracks.

Following the end of

 The Rolling Stones'

 Sony Music contract 

and their signing to 

Virgin Records, 

Jagger elected to sign with

 Atlantic Records

 (which had signed the Stones in the 1970s)

 to distribute

 what would be

 his only album 

with the label.
