Description
|
|
|
|
Formed in 1970 by two gospel-singing preachers (and brothers) from Dallas, the Relatives bridge the gap between traditional gospel, soul, and psychedelia with gritty, riveting songs that confront issues like war, addiction, and inequality. Imbued with "sweat, grit, and a righteous musicality" (Austin Chronicle), their debut album's ten fervent tracks include "Bad Trip" and "Speak to Me (What's Wrong With America?)." Imagine the Staple Singers hooking up with Jimi Hendrix, and you'll get how the Relatives can "take you there."
