After years of singing country and gospel tunes on the family ranch in the Verde Valley, in 1960 Arizona singer-guitarist Alvie Self recorded a rockabilly banger. "<a href="spotify:track:7bT8kQF1HuFgAZLpaH9NHT" data-name="Let's Go Wild">Let's Go Wild</a>" has been praised for its raucous spirit, peculiar production quality and edgy lyrics, which spoke of making out at the drive-in theater and losing your mind to music. "Let's Go Wild b/w "<a href="spotify:track:6d1VOEsSoao8ibaAZSDPhH" data-name="Nancy">Nancy</a>," released in 1960 on Don Bennett's Don Ray label, received airplay nationwide. Copies of the single were distributed as far as Buffalo, New York. Dick Clark even played "Nancy" on American Bandstand. Energized by the momentum, Self moved to Phoenix around 1965 and stuck around into the early '70s, operating road graders and dump trucks by day and performing in the area on weekends.
