Songs from JTree - 2012
Fifteen tracks pulled from the 2012 Joshua Tree weekend — the rotation that played in the rental and on the drives between the campsite and the trailheads. Bruce Springsteen anchors the heartland-rock road-canon; Wild Cherry drops in for the funk-rock cookout moment; The Rolling Stones bring the all-purpose classic-rock spine; Sir Mix-A-Lot closes the late-night run with the early-’90s hip-hop singalong that the group kept circling back to. Built as an actual real-trip mixtape rather than a themed playlist — the run that captured a specific weekend rather than trying to soundtrack the desert. Personal more than programmatic.
