About the artist

The Relatives were formed in 1970 by the brothers Rev. Gean West and Rev. Tommie West - Yep Roc's reissue documentation states "formed in 1970 by Dallas gospel singer Rev. Gean West and his brother" - a Dallas, Texas gospel-soul group blending traditional gospel with psychedelic funk; members across the run included Earnest Tarkington, Tyron Edwards, Charles Ray "Gypsy" Mitchell and others. "Speak To Me" b/w "Walking On" (Lewis Records L 2805, 1971) was written by Gean West. The group broke up in 1980, reunited in 2009, and released "The Electric Word" on Yep Roc in 2013.
