Red Hill Mining Town

"Red Hill Mining Town" is a song by the rock band U2. It is the sixth track from their 1987 album, ''The Joshua Tree''. A rough version of this song was worked on during the early ''Joshua Tree'' album writing sessions in 1985. The focus of the song is on the National Union of Mineworkers' 1984 strike in England that occurred in response to the National Coal Board's campaign to close uneconomic mines. A music video was produced in February 1987 for the song and was directed by Neil Jordan. The song was planned for release as the album's second single, but it was ultimately shelved on favour of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
==Background and recording==
In 1984, the National Union of Mineworkers led a strike in response to the National Coal Board's campaign to close uneconomic mines. The dispute was one of the most divisive and bitter in British history and its effect on families and communities was severe.
In 1984, Bob Dylan played at Slane Castle in Dublin. U2 singer Bono interviewed him for ''Hot Press'' magazine and Dylan invited Bono to sing on stage with him. The meeting confirmed for Bono, whose "record collection started in 1976", how much he still had to learn about the traditions of singing, songwriting, and musicianship.〔 A friendship developed between Bono and Dylan with Bono delving into Dylan's back catalogue and retracing the connections between Irish and American folk music. He was also listening to the blue-collar labour songs of Bruce Springsteen. U2's growing awareness of folk traditions was reflected in their performance at a 25th anniversary tribute on the ''Late Late Show'' to folk veterans the Dubliners. U2 performed Peggy Seeger's "Springhill Mining Disaster" which tells the story of a mining disaster in Nova Scotia.〔
During recording, Bono was displeased with an early vocal take and wondered why his voice made him sound "like a rich man with pound notes stuffed in his pockets when it's a song about unemployment". The audio engineer determined that the stereo plate reverb effect that had been added to the vocals was contributing to this feeling, and as a result, it was removed.
