Daniel Lanois in 2011

Daniel Lanois, the Canadian musician and producer who helped collaborate with Red Dead Redemption 2 composer Woody Jackson, has worked with a number of music legends in the past: Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Emmylou Harris are just three notable examples. But, he might just be best known for producing one of the best-selling and critically acclaimed albums of the 1980s, U2's The Joshua Tree.

The Joshua Tree, released in 1987, would eventually sell over 25 million copies and become one of the best selling albums of all time. It would get the band two Grammy awards and was also selected by the US Library of Congress for inclusion into the National Recording Registry. So, it was kind of a big deal.

Lanois handled the production for all the vocals composed for the album, which were performed by a wide variety of artists. In fact, one of those artists, Rhiannon Giddens, are performing with him and his band in the clip from the Game Awards last year. As for those other artists working on the soundtrack, you ask?
