When I sat down tonight to write my weekly article, I planned to write about another of the lesser-known masterpieces from The Joshua Tree, such as “In God’s Country” or “One Tree Hill”, but after a careful search, I discovered that I’ve already written about each of the eleven songs that were included on the […]

Since the announcement of the latest Joshua Tree Tour, I’ve been focusing on lesser known highlights from the album the upcoming tour takes it’s name from.

When How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb was first released, I immediately fell in love with quite a few of its songs – songs like “City of Blinding Lights”, “All Because of You”, and even “One Step Closer to Knowing” tickled my fancy with the very first hearing. There was one song on the album, […]
