The Very Best of Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band compiles the highlights from the group’s first two albums, which featured the kitschy, big band-influenced disco group at the height of their powers. All of the group’s hits — “I’ll Play the Fool,” “Whispering/Cherchez La Femme/Se Si Bon,” “Sour and Sweet/Lemon in the Honey” — are included on the collection, as well as a number of first-rate album tracks, making it not only the perfect place to start, but also the only Dr. Buzzard album any fan needs to own. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
