U2 – The Joshua Tree (CD)
Product Details
Rooted in American mythology, landscapes, and the blues, The Joshua Tree found U2 processing their obsession with the United States through a distinctly Irish lens, drawing on the influence of artists like Woody Guthrie and Robert Johnson. The album marked a turning point where the band's arena ambitions and their rootsier instincts finally converged, with producer Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois coaxing something rawer and more elemental out of four musicians who had spent years chasing transcendence.
Digitally remastered edition. Released to universal acclaim on 9th March 1987 and featuring hit singles With Or Without You, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and Where The Streets Have No Name, The Joshua Tree went to #1 in the U.K, U.S., Ireland and around the world, selling in excess of 25 million albums, and catapulting Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr... from heroes to superstars (Rolling Stone). Time Magazine put U2 on it's cover in April 1987, proclaiming them Rock's Hottest Ticket and the 12 months that followed saw U2 create iconic moments including the traffic-stopping Grammy Award-winning Where The Streets Have No Name video on the roof of a Los Angeles liquor store, and go on to win a BRIT Award and two Grammys - including Album of the Year - their first of 22 received to date; as well as a triumphant return home for four unforgettable shows in Belfast, Dublin and Cork in the summer of 1987.
