Remedies

VINYL FORMAT. 180 gram exact reproduction reissue, manufactured by Rhino, of Dr. John's bad trip album from 1970. "Remedies 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." - All Music Guide
