Remedies is the third album released by New Orleans R&B artist Dr. John. The photography was by Stephen C. LaVere, taken in 1969 at the Whisky a Go Go.
In a 2010 interview with Uncut, Dr. John explained the "bad trip" environment which led to the epic closing track "Angola Anthem":
"My managers put me in a psych ward. These guys were very bad people – I had gotten busted on a deal, and they got me bonded out of jail, and so when they did I could have got a parole violation. All of this stuff was so unconnected to music that it’s hard to relate it. A friend of mine had just come out of doing 40-something years in Angola [the infamous Louisiana State Penitentiary], he was just someone special in my heart – called Tangleye. And Tangleye says, 'I’m gonna sell you this song. Got it in Angola, but ain’t nobody ever cut this song…' Even now guys I know getting out of Angola know this song. It’s still a horrible place to be."[1]
