I have the house to myself this evening. So I close my eyes, and pick a CD from Jim's collection. And out comes U2 - The Joshua Tree. It's not long before I have the music blaring as loud as I dare - the way Jim always preferred it. And the tunes are oh so familiar. Jim obviously played this one often. The list of songs include:
- Where the Streets Have No Name
- I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- With Or Without You
- Bullet The Blue Sky
- Running To Stand Still
- Red Hill Mining Town
- In God's Country
- Trip Through Your Wires
- One Tree Hill
- Exit
- Mothers Of The Disappeared
The CD was released in 1987 on Island Records by U2, consisting of lead singer Bono, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen Jr. , and The Edge. It was the band's fifth studio album.
Formed in 1976, the Irish rock band continues to perform and produce. They are currently wrapping up The Joshua Tree Tour 2017, highlighting 30 years since The Joshua Tree was first released. And, the band released a remix of the The Joshua Tree to mark the event.
