Review by Vic Mendes

Love Potion is the twelfth studio album by American singer-songwriter and pianist Dr John, released in 1972. The album features a mix of blues, jazz, and funk with a touch of psychedelic rock. Dr John's unique voice and piano playing are on full display throughout the album, making it a must-listen for any fan of New Orleans-style music.

The album's opening track, "Love Potion #9," is a funky rendition of the classic song, featuring Dr John's signature growling vocals and a groovy bass line. The album also includes the bluesy "Iko Iko," a song that has been covered by numerous artists over the years.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Wash, Mama, Wash," a psychedelic blues number with a hypnotic guitar riff and a catchy chorus. Dr John's piano playing is particularly impressive on this track, as he weaves in and out of the guitar and bass lines with ease.

Other highlights include the funky "Lonesome Guitar Strangler" and the jazzy "Let's Make a Better World." The album closes with "Shoo Ra," a slow-burning blues track that showcases Dr John's soulful vocals and piano playing.
