Dr. John "Remedies" 1970

This album is like the AllMusic review says it is, other worldly. In my opinion the best tunes are "Loop Garoo" and "Chippy Chippy". In my opinion the other tunes are good tunes but a bit long winded. The sound on this album is a transition from the voodoo stew on the Dr's first album Gris Gris and the funky sounds of albums like In The Right Place & Desitively Bonnaroo in my opinion. The only thing that sucks about this album is its hard to find, it's basically out of print. If you're lucky you can find a copy issued on the Wounded Bird label. - AllMusic Review by James ChrispellRemedies is not rock and roll, it is something nearly otherworldly, and almost beyond comprehension. While it includes such standout Dr. John tracks as "Wash Mama Wash" and "Loop Garoo," it also includes "Angola Anthem," which is murky, mysterious and downright evil-sounding. Much of this very long cut is lost without headphones, for the music floats about in a smoky fog while Dr. John and his backup singers chant, moan, and cry out. Progressive radio loved this stuff, and it still sounds great during those late-night flirtations with the dark side of the psyche. Remedies must be heard to be believed. - AllMusic Review by James Chrispelltrax:
