Mr. McNutt has penned a real winner here, in my opinion. Yes, it is self published, and no, it isn't very slick or glitzy. What it is is readable. As I began flipping through "We Wanna Boogie" I quickly became hooked and then started reading every word, lingering and re-reading many chapters, basking in Mr. McNutt's considerable "way with words." Even now, years after first reading it, sitting down with the book usually produces a new gem or two. The reader is treated to extended comments by guys like "Orangie Ray Hubbard" and many others who blazed the way for rockabilly in the early days. Yes, many may not be well-known, but By giving these guys a page or two to tell their story, in their own words, it goes a long way toward making this book enjoyable and believable. Get it....You'll like it. It's a real sleeper!!!

WoW what can I say, one of the best books I have ever read.
I stay awake in every site.
It have all the ingrediens ,that I as A Rockabilly & Hillbilly fan is looking after. Not like many other so called Rockabilly books with its softness I didn`t like. I like it more on the rough edge, and this book has done it.
