Originally released on Henry Stone’s Blue Candle label in 1977, ‘Wiggle That Thing’ was one-time Third Guitar member and busy guitarist, singer songwriter and studio musician Snoopy Dean’s debut album. Fusing the emerging disco sound with a down home bluesy funk groove the title track ‘Wiggle That Thing’ is a popping mid tempo dancer while ‘Shake What You Got’ follows a similar vein with simple call-to-action vocals set over a dance groove. The breezy, summery ballad ‘Walking On Air’ is a delightful modern gem – track of the album – with Dean’s vocals sounding similar to Charles Johnson who he wrote for while ‘Black Bird’ is another superb slowie with Snoopy’s vocals working well with the spacey synths, floating flute line and sweet backing girls. The punchy ‘Let Me Taste Your Love’ is the pick of the funk numbers while ‘We’ll Try Again’ is a mid tempo finger clicker that ends this brief but solid album well. High recommended.
