Liz Harris, Keep Rockin' magazine:  "Sh-Boom! is a joy to read!"
Marc Bristol, Blue Suede News:  "I loved the book; couldn't put it down."
Suzanne Cadgene, Elmore magazine: "The incidents, facts and music come hot and heavy, and they ring true. Sh-Boom! provides a banquet of information."
Rollye James, Sirius/XM Radio:  "If you haven't picked up a copy of 'Sh-Boom!',  buy one. Unlike many of the memoirs from the early annals of rock, Clay tells it like it is.Some of the stories are priceless!
Gary West, Mr Pop Culture: "Clay’s insightful look at New York and pop culture during top-40’s formative years is a must. Clay Cole was New York’s most successful pop-music TV talent during the late 1950’s and 1960’s. That description is just the beginning. The book is the missing link – the one so many of us have been waiting for. His accounts are compelling and, as with any good story, he makes you want more. Sh-Boom explodes! 
You won’t be able to put the book down.  It’s that good!"
Times Square Gossip: "This is, without a doubt, the best book I've ever read on the early beginning of rock 'n roll. There were so many things I liked about this book; it’s a bit difficult where to begin. His writing style is snappy, funny, and direct ... A devastatingly brilliant book."
Brian Oliver, Sh-boom magazine, UK  "This is no typical show-biz autobiography.  In a fast-paced, conversational and witty style, Cole combines highly personal recollections with a comprehensive and detailed history of rock ‘n’ roll itself.  Packed with fascinating facts and funny anecdotes, it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the shaping of an era.  It’s pop music history told from the inside out, by someone who was there at the beginning."  
Tiffanie Gabrielse,  Encore magazine: "Clay Cole has written an indispensable pop-culture memoir of the early years of rock, perfectly titled, “Sh-Boom!” It gleams with true accounts of Cole’s life in the early, star-studded music business. It is more than a must read for those who once upon a time bought a 45, LP or owned a transistor radio. “Sh-Boom!” is for anyone who loves music."
