History

Following The Unforgettable Fire album, the band realised that "U2 had no tradition, we were from outer space", and they explored American blues, country and gospel music.[1] Furthermore, they spent time with fellow Irish bands The Waterboys and Hothouse Flowers and felt a sense of indigenous Irish music being blended with American folk music.[2] Friendships with Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Keith Richards encouraged the band to look back to the roots of rock music and focused Bono on his skills as a song and lyric writer.[3] The band wanted to build on The Unforgettable Fire's atmospherics, but also sought a more hard-hitting sound within the strict discipline of conventional song structures, rather than The Unforgettable Fire’s often out-of-focus experimentation.[4] For the song of the same name from the album, see The Unforgettable Fire (song). ...

The wild beauty, cultural richness, spiritual vacancy and ferocious violence of America are explored to compelling effect in virtually every aspect of The Joshua Tree—in the title and the cover art, the blues and country borrowings evident in the music...Indeed, Bono says that "dismantling the mythology of America" is an important part of The Joshua Tree's artistic objective.

U2 interrupted their 1986 album sessions to serve as a headline act on Amnesty International's A Conspiracy of Hope Tour. Rather than being a distraction, the tour added extra intensity and power to their new music, providing extra focus on what they wanted to say.[6] In his 1986 travels to San Salvador and Nicaragua, Bono saw first hand the distress of peasants bullied in internal conflicts, and this was a central influence on the album, most noticeably on "Bullet the Blue Sky" and "Mothers of the Disappeared". The album juxtaposes antipathy towards America, including anger at American foreign policy in Central America, against the band's deep fascination with the country, its open spaces, freedom and what it stood for.[7] The band wanted music with a sense of location, a 'cinematic' quality; its music and lyrics drew on imagery created by American writers the band had been reading.[8] Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Amnesty international Amnesty International (commonly known as Amnesty or AI) is an international non-governmental organization which defines its mission as to undertake research and action focused on preventing and ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience...

Release and success

Named The Joshua Tree as a "tribute" to (rather than a "metaphor" for) America,[9] the album was released in March 1987. It debuted at number one in the UK and also quickly reached the top of the charts in the U.S. It won U2 their first two Grammy Awards.[10] The rock & roll bolero[11] "With or Without You" and the rhythmic gospel "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" quickly went to number one in the U.S. U2 became the fourth rock band to be featured on the cover of Time magazine (following The Beatles, The Band, and The Who), who declared that U2 was "Rock's Hottest Ticket".[12] The album brought U2 to a new level of mega-stardom and is often cited as one of rock's great albums.[13] The Joshua Tree Tour sold out arenas and stadiums around the world, the first time the band had consistently played venues of that size.

"With or Without You", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", and "Where the Streets Have No Name" were released as singles internationally and became smash hits. In addition, "In God's Country" was released as a fourth single in North America with modest success, and "One Tree Hill" was released as a fourth single in New Zealand. "Red Hill Mining Town" had originally been slated as a single before it was realized during rehearsals for the Joshua Tree Tour that Bono could not hit the high notes in the song;[citation needed] it ended up being the only number not played on the tour from this album.

According to Bono in a BBC TV documentary, the track order for the album was devised by singer Kirsty MacColl. She put her favorite song first, then her second favorite, and so on.[16] Kirsty Anna MacColl (10 October 1959 – 18 December 2000) was an English singer-songwriter. ...


The original CD pressings of the album incorrectly indexed the ending of "One Tree Hill" at 4:43 and the beginning of "Exit" at 4:53. This is because a final, quieter stanza of "One Tree Hill" ("Oh, great ocean...") occurs once the song has died down and apparently ended. As a result, the stanza was for a long time thought to be the beginning of "Exit", even though it completely contrasts in tone with "Exit". This error has been corrected on later editions. CD redirects here. ...


In 1996, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remastered the album and released it as a special gold CD. This edition has slightly different running times from the Island CD editions, and features an alternate edit of "Mothers of the Disappeared" in which the repeating synthesizer rhythm pattern briefly rises in volume just before the song fades out completely; this recurrence is not audible on the Island CDs. (The 2007 re-issue CD remastered under the supervision of The Edge also features this edit, suggesting that it may represent the band's original intent.) Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFSL, or MoFi) is a company that produces audiophile releases of classic CDs and vinyl records. ...


A number of songs that were released as B-sides were thought to have been considered for a double-album version of The Joshua Tree. Though Bono was the most vocal proponent of this extended version of the album, The Edge successfully argued for the 11-track version that was ultimately released [citation needed]. "Spanish Eyes" and "Deep in the Heart" were released as B-sides to the "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" single. "Luminous Times (Hold on to Love)" and "Walk to the Water" were released as B-sides to the "With or Without You" single. "Sweetest Thing", "Silver and Gold", and "Race Against Time" were released as B-sides to the "Where the Streets Have No Name" single. “B-Sides” redirects here. ...
