Rattle and Hum is a hybrid live/studio album by Irish rock band U2, and a companion rockumentary film directed by Phil Joanou. The album was produced by Jimmy Iovine and was released on 10 October 1988, while the film was distributed by Paramount Pictures and was released on 27 October 1988. Following the breakthrough success of the band`s previous studio album, The Joshua Tree, the Rattle and Hum project captures their continued experiences with American roots music on the Joshua Tree Tour, further incorporating elements of blues rock, folk rock, and gospel music into their sound. A collection of new studio tracks, live performances, and cover songs, the project includes recordings at Sun Studio in Memphis and collaborations with Bob Dylan, B. B. King, and Harlem`s New Voices of Freedom gospel choir.

Although Rattle and Hum was intended to represent the band paying tribute to legendary musicians, some critics accused U2 of trying to place themselves amongst the ranks of such artists. Critical reception to both the album and the film was mixed; one Rolling Stone editor spoke of the album`s `excitement`; another described it as `misguided and bombastic`.[2] The film grossed just $8.6 million, but the album was a commercial success, reaching number one in several countries and selling 14 million copies. The lead single `Desire` became the band`s first UK number-one song while reaching number three in the US.[3] Facing creative stagnation and a critical backlash to Rattle and Hum, U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s through a new musical direction and public image.

History
`I was very keen on the idea of going wide at a time like that, just seeing how big this thing could get. I had always admired Colonel Parker and Brian Epstein for realising that music could capture the imagination of the whole world.`

—U2 manager Paul McGuinness, explaining his original motivation to make a movie.[4]

While in Hartford during the 1987 The Joshua Tree Tour, U2 met film director Phil Joanou who made an unsolicited pitch to the band to make a feature-length documentary about the tour. Joanou suggested they hire Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, or George Miller to direct the film. Joanou met the band again in Dublin to discuss the plans and again in France in September before the band chose him as director. The movie was originally titled U2 in the Americas and the band planned to film in Chicago and Buenos Aires later in the year.[5] It was later decided that the Chicago venue was not suitable, and instead U2 used the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver to film. Following the success of Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky, which had been filmed in Denver four years earlier, the band hoped that `lightning might strike twice`.[6] With production problems and estimated costs of $1.2 million the band cancelled the plans for December concerts in South America. At the suggestions of concert promoter Barry Fey, the band instead booked Sun Devil Stadium at Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona, the same city where the Joshua Tree tour began.[6]

The movie is a rockumentary, which was initially financed by the band and intended to be screened in a small number of cinemas as an independent film. After going over budget, the film was bought by Paramount Pictures and released in theatres in 1988, before arriving on video in 1989. It was produced by Michael Hamlyn and directed by Joanou. Paul Wasserman served as the publicist.[7] It incorporates live footage with studio outtakes and band interviews. The album is a mix of live material and new studio recordings that furthers the band`s experimentation with American music styles and recognises many of their musical influences. It was produced by Jimmy Iovine and also released in 1988.

The title, Rattle and Hum, is taken from a lyric from `Bullet the Blue Sky`, the fourth track on The Joshua Tree. The image used for the album cover and movie poster, depicting Bono shining a spotlight on Edge as he plays, was inspired by a scene in the live performance of `Bullet the Blue Sky` recorded in the film and album, but was recreated in a stills studio and photographed by Anton Corbijn.[8] Several vinyl copies have the message `We Love You A.L.K.` etched into side one, a reference to the band`s production manager Anne Louise Kelly, who would be the subject of another secret dedication message on several CD copies of the band`s later album, Pop.

Studio recordings
Bono said `Hawkmoon 269` was in part as a tribute to writer Sam Shepard, who had released a book entitled Hawk Moon. Bono also said that the band mixed the song 269 times. This was thought to be a joke for years until it was confirmed by guitarist the Edge in U2 by U2, who said that they spent three weeks mixing the song. He also contradicted Bono`s assertion about Shepard, saying that Hawkmoon is a place in Rapid City, South Dakota, in the midwestern United States.[9]

`Angel of Harlem` is a horn-filled tribute to Billie Holiday. The bass-heavy `God Part II` is a sequel of sorts to John Lennon`s `God`.

The lead single, `Desire`, sports a Bo Diddley beat. During the Joshua Tree tour, in mid-November 1987, Bono and Bob Dylan met in Los Angeles; together they wrote a song called `Prisoner of Love` which later became `Love Rescue Me`. Dylan sang lead vocals on the original recording, a version which Bono called `astonishing`, but Dylan later asked U2 not to use it citing commitments to The Traveling Wilburys.[10] The live performance of `I Still Haven`t Found What I`m Looking For` (recorded with a full church choir) is a gospel song. `When Love Comes to Town` is a blues rocker featuring B. B. King on guitar and vocals.

U2 recorded `Angel of Harlem`, `Love Rescue Me` and `When Love Comes to Town` at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, where Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash and many others also recorded. They also recorded an unreleased version of `She`s a Mystery to Me` and Woody Guthrie`s `Jesus Christ`, which appeared on Folkways: A Vision Shared. The band started writing `Heartland` in 1984 during The Unforgettable Fire sessions, and it was worked on during The Joshua Tree sessions.[11] All of the studio tracks apart from `Heartland` were performed in concert on the Lovetown Tour, which began almost a year after Rattle and Hum`s release.

In addition to the nine studio tracks that comprised one half of the double album, a number of additional recordings from the Rattle and Hum sessions would be released on various singles and side projects. `Hallelujah Here She Comes` was released as a B-side to `Desire`, and `A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel` was released as a B-side to `Angel of Harlem.` Covers were released as B-sides for the rest of the singles—an abbreviated cover of Patti Smith`s `Dancing Barefoot` would be released as a B-side to `When Love Comes to Town` (the full version would see release on the 12` version of the single and on CD on the 1994 soundtrack album to Threesome), while `Unchained Melody` and `Everlasting Love` would be released as the B-sides to `All I Want Is You.` A cover of `Fortunate Son` recorded with Maria McKee would not be released until 1992`s `Who`s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses` single; a version of the soul classic `Everybody Loves a Winner` by William Bell, also recorded with McKee, would eventually be released on the 20th anniversary edition of Achtung Baby.

Studio versions of `She`s a Mystery to Me` (a Bono/Edge composition that would eventually be recorded and released by Roy Orbison), Bruce Cockburn`s `If I Had a Rocket Launcher`, Percy Sledge`s `Warm and Tender Love`, and `Can`t Help Falling in Love With You`, while recorded, have yet to be released. (A solo Bono cover of the Elvis Presley classic would be released on 1992`s Honeymoon in Vegas album, however.) A cover of the Woody Guthrie song `Jesus Christ` was also recorded during these sessions for eventual inclusion on the cover album Folkways: A Vision Shared. Lastly, a cover of `Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)` was recorded and released for the first A Very Special Christmas album, released at the end of 1987.
