From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tribe of Heaven is a collaboration between Mark Roebuck and Dave Matthews, recorded in 1989.
Dave Matthews was a fellow bartender to Mark Roebuck, and assisted Roebuck in writing and recording an entire album. Nine folk rock songs were recorded during the Tribe of Heaven project, including five written solely by Roebuck, three by Roebuck and Matthews, and a cover of U2's "In God's Country." The tracks were recorded at the studio in Greg Howard's home in Scottsville, Virginia during two separate sessions in 1989. Howard played keyboards on "Imagine We Were" and "Half the Time," and Mike Rosenski played guitar on "Touch."
Imagine We Were was offered to various record labels in early 1990, but was turned down. Matthews went on to form Dave Matthews Band the next year, and included a Tribe of Heaven song, "The Song That Jane Likes," on the band's first album, Remember Two Things.
